"With its diverse edit of books, magazines, locally designed gifts, art prints and other ephemera, I think he’s totally nailed what a bookshop really needs to be these days. Chris’ single minded vision for Happy Valley is no accident – it comes from a lifetime of experience in the record industry and independent retail." - Lucy Feagins 'The Design Files'  

“Happy Valley, is quite a different kettle of fish. It’s like a gallery of eclectic gifts, designer homewares, books and art prints, and all of it has been personally curated by Crouch himself. The cheeky and playful mood of the shop is indeed a reflection of Crouch himself, who basically just wants to showcase items that he finds interesting and fun – and hopes others do too.” - Urban Walkabout

"Though relatively new to the scene, Happy Valley is a store to get lost in. Featuring a carefully chosen range of new fiction, art and design, and quirky gift books, it also sells hard-to-find homewares and accessories from local and international makers. Owner Chris Crouch previously owned music store Polyester Records, and brings a similar ethos to bear here. The store is the perfect mix of cool and fun – a stylish and interesting space that offers plenty of food for thought and never feels pretentious." - Melbourne's Best Bookstores - Broadsheet
