COLLINS BOOKSELLERS 100 YEARS
1922-2022
This year , Collins Booksellers is celebrating 100 years in the book industry . Our story began when Frederick Henry ( Harry ) Slamen first opened a newsagency at 622 Collins Street , Melbourne . By the 1950s , with another branch at 361 Swanston Street , he was one of the largest newspaper agents in Melbourne . When he opened yet another store on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Streets it was managed by a fellow who , oddly , was named Charles Dickens and had worked for the bookseller Mullens & Robertson . His background in books was probably the impetus behind the introduction of books into the Slamen business .
This was the beginning of a business which later embraced franchising , bringing into the fold independent booksellers from all over Australia . Today our Collins Family is made up of twenty-five stores spread nationwide . Each is privately owned and reflects the personality of the booksellers and the literary needs of their unique communities . We are a very close group , bound together by our common passion for the written word .
