Four more Angus & Robertson bookstores in Perth will be closed down over the next few weeks, with 39 workers to lose their jobs.
A total of 42 Angus & Roberston stores owned by REDgroup Retail across Australia are expected to close over the next three to four weeks, with job losses totalling 519.
The affected workers include 429 store workers and 90 more from REDgroup head office and distribution centres.
Administrator John Melluish from Ferrier Hodgson said all staff made redundant would get their entitlements, which would be paid out of sales of remaining stock.
"Our ability to pay full entitlements is a direct result of the untiring efforts of the Angus & Robertson staff who worked under very difficult circumstances to keep the business going," he said in a statement.
"As a result of their efforts, I can confirm that all entitlements will be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the remaining inventory."
The stores to be closed include 13 in Queensland, 10 in NSW, nine in Victoria, four in WA and three in each of Tasmania and South Australia.
Most of the staff to be made redundant are in Victoria and Queensland.
The 42 stores employed 116 full-time, 47 part-time and 266 casual staff.
Mr Melluish said he was now in talks to sell the remaining 19 non-franchise Angus & Robertson stores.
There are 48 franchisee stores that will continue to trade under the Angus & Robertson name.
