And out of storage comes a box of MORE Enid Blyton! These are all paper backs from the 1990s to the 1990s (a few later ones) that I will be placing on the vintage children's novel spinner in our window.

We have many more hard cover books of Enid Blyton's in the shelves near the door.

>>If you spot something you want but can't make it in, let us know and we can put it aside for you.

Quiet day today ⛈️ but it's given us the chance to sort out a few boxes from storage. 📦

📚 We are bundling some doubles (triples, quartets...) as we have been asked about book club bundles so if you are considering your next group read, why not consider something from an author's back catalogue?

We currently have titles by:
- Peter Goldsworthy
- David Malouf
- Patrick White

Feel free to ask us to hold a bundle or we can post at Australia Post rates. :)

The Australian sketchbooks have reappeared! These have come back out of storage and we know there have been some folk looking for them.

These lovely books detail various parts of Australia l, South Australia and Adelaide in wonderful hand sketched drawings. Most still have their original dust jackets. (I'll put some photos in the comments)
