Dot and Ross Reading opened the first store on Lygon Street, Carlton, in 1969 — partly bankrolled by Dot's teaching wage, shelves occasionally restocked from their home library. Mark Rubbo bought the business in 1976 and has steered it ever since, earning an OAM for his role in Australian literary life. Nine Melbourne locations now; the Carlton flagship, in a former Commonwealth Bank building, remains the anchor.
