PS Thanks to Jennifer for the additional information about the other Japan Book Plaza bookstore, it was really helpful :).

Japan Book Plaza

Level 5 Daimaru, 211 La Trobe St
Melbourne, Victoria 3000
Tel : 03 9660 6517
Fax : 03 9660 6592

I was more than a little surprised at how small it is! It's basically a small corner tucked away in Daimaru next to the luggage and other travel goods department. Selection wise, they don't have a whole lot, mostly due to their limited space, but a friend of mine managed to grab some Bebop Gold there out of all things, tucked away at ankle level. They have a small pile of books regarding Japanese manga that are hard to find as well, though the prices was at least double that of Amazon unfortunately.

Additional info : you can order manga from here as well, if they do not have the titles you wanted in stock.

They actually have another branch located at:

155 Toorak Road
South Yarra VIC 3141
Tel : (03) 9578-1672
Fax : (03) 9578-1474

I've only been to this other branch once but it's actually slightly larger than the Daimaru Branch. They do have comics but again limited number.

"Also their service is very good....probably any other bookshops does this but they are willing to hold books for you for certain period of times. They are also very helpful. :)".
