QBD The Bookshop is a privately owned book retailer. The company comprises 24 stores throughout Australia.

QBD The Bookshop (originally Queensland Book Depot) commenced operations in the late 1800s. Over the past 130 years QBD has had a number of owners, including the Uniting Church. QBD grew into the largest book chain in Queensland, only to be stricken by a number of takeovers and receiverships.

QBD Garden City was purchased in 1991 by the Robinson family, and in early 1992 the business names were purchased from the receivers. QBD The Bookshop has since expanded to numerous stores and a warehouse, in line with the company's policy to rebuild the business to its former standing.
