Chapter 55 is an upcoming independent brick & mortar bookstore dedicated to commemorating the magic of romance novels. Established by Claudia Di Pasquale in 2025, this store specialises in beautiful special edition books, including store-exclusive special editions, particularly of indie books!

Chapter 55 is dedicated to providing authors, particularly indie authors, with more opportunities for readers to discover their enchanting, emotional and captivating stories. 

As avid readers ourselves, we know the allure of losing oneself to the world these books create. The escapism provided and the safety to feel so many different emotions along with the characters in these books is unparallel and a gift. We want to give back to these authors and provide the experience of walking into a bookstore and seeing their books on the shelves, knowing so many new readers are going to discover their stories. 

Our Misson

We want to give romance readers a safe space to disassociate from the craziness of everyday life. To lose oneself in the pages of their books and have the freedom and safety to feel so many different emotions with the characters in their books.

Our Business Goal

We want to provide beautiful special edition books that are more accessible and affordable to fellow Australians.
