Had a couple of days in Sydney on business and thought I would check out the first Aussie Kinokuniya on George Street specifically to look at Apica.

They have some but not a big range. CD15 at $4.40, and a few others not in the CD series. You have to look hard and turn many over to see if they are Apica - do so and you will find some gems. There is one called 3150 which look like they are a copy of Aussie Rules footy jumpers. Same size as CD15 and same price. There were a few others in A4 and A5 in "pretty" covers and a selection of Maruman and Campus, although not many. I get the feeling the range would change all the time so you probably have to wander in from time to time.

I was a little surprised they didn't have much in A5 and smaller.

There is also a range of loose leaf in colours and white (not Apica or Campus) and binders to suit (23 hole like most similar) but seemed typical quality Japanese paper, and a big range of stationery items.

Worth a wander through if you are in Sydney.

Yes, the stock does change very frequently.

It's a great place to spend a few hours in, isn't it?

I am not much of a reader book wise so it was more browsing stationery for me but worth the trip just for that. I did have a book browse too though and they seemed to have an excellent range. The place was very busy when I was there and the cafe seemed to be doing well. Certainly would visit whenever I hit Sydney.
