The Philadelphia Wireman sculptures were found abandoned in an alley off Philadelphia’s South Street on trash night in 1982.

World Food Books is proud to announce our next Occasion, the first presentation of sculptures by Philadelphia Wireman in Australia. We base these prices on desirability, market value, in-print prices, condition and our current stock levels. We offer about 25 % of the price we expect to get when we sell them, or 30% in store credit. If you have a lot of books, we can visit your Sydney home.

AllĪbout 25% of the price we expect to get when we sell them, or 30% in store credit. We offer cash, store credit, and can take stock on consignment. We only buy books in our fields of interest and specialty, and that we feel we can resell. Interested in selling your old books, catalogues, journals, magazines, comics, zines, ephemera? We are always looking for interesting, unusual and out-of-print books to buy. World Food Books semi-regularly co-ordinates 'Occasions', a programme of exhibits and events at the bookshop and in partnership with other hosts (such as museums and art galleries) that develop out of the activities, relationships and content of the bookshop itself. Presenting new titles alongside rare and out-of-print books, catalogues and journals spanning the fields of modern and contemporary art, design, popular culture and literature in its many radical forms, World Food Books wishes to encourage active and thoughtful reading, looking, writing, and exchanging of independent publishing, both current and historical.Īs well as our bookshop, located in Melbourne's historical Nicholas Building, all of our inventory is available internationally via our online mail-order service. Founded in 2010, World Food Books is devoted to the presentation of a rotating, hand-selection of international art, design and literary publications with an emphasis on the anti-traditional, the experimental, the avant-garde, the marginal. World Food Books is an arts bookshop in Naarm / Melbourne. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the first and continuing custodians of this land, and pay respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

World Food Books' programme is largely produced on Kulin Nation land.
