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. [http://www.qbd.com.au/faq.php#faq_2]
