25.01.2022 First time we’ve had the whole amazing trilogy in stock. #fantasybooks

25.01.2022 Today’s #lockdownreading from @imprintsbooksellers stays on the paranormal theme. It’s about a woman whose rage and trauma manifests as dangerous poltergeists. I think we can all relate as we watch today’s covid update. Surely we’ve hit #peak2020 now.

25.01.2022 OK no theme here other than some of the very excellent books I’m shelving today that I’d rather be taking home to read. From a reluctant #secondhandbooks seller.

24.01.2022 Getting some springtime colour happening in the window with these kawaii prints from @yukohiguchi3 #secondhandbookshop

24.01.2022 Found these little gems tucked away in the classics. In the 16th century French writer Margaret de Navarre set out to write her own decameron, but died before she finished. Her heptameron was published posthumously, all contained in this 1928, five-volume edition. #secondhandbooks #rarebooks #xmasbooks

22.01.2022 I have 3 pageant tickets because ... well it’s a long story that I won’t bore you with. Does anyone want them or know someone who wants them? It’s at Adelaide Oval at 7pm tomorrow night.

21.01.2022 Today’s pick is our pile of vintage #classicsillustrated

20.01.2022 Today I’ve been practicing my wobbly-but-slowly-improving book covering skills on these little babies.

19.01.2022 This morning we’re excited to have got a fresh stack of last minute gifts or lazy summer reads. #secondhandxmas #usedbooks #summerreads

19.01.2022 #throwbacksaturday to when we’d hang at @imprintsbooksellers to buy the latest in experimental writing, then head to Clearlight for lunch #1980s #favouritebookshops #vegetariancafes #adelaide

16.01.2022 So nice to be open on a Sunday again! It’s a good vibe in the shop today. A good day to dig around in one of my personal favourites - the literary biography section. Perfect xmas gifts but #notreallybeachreads #secondhand books #sundaybookshopping

08.01.2022 You know I used to be a structuralist, but now I’m not Saussure. #loveyourbookshopday #theoryjokes #poststructuralism

07.01.2022 Big news over the lockdown! I became grandmother to a baby beagle. If you’re looking for any beagle-related books this week, you’ll find the section empty. All other sections are packed full of gems, and we’re open as usual from Tuesday at 10am. #regularopeninghours #secondhandbooks and #brandnewpuppies

06.01.2022 I have loved Helen Reddy forever. This week I’ve been remembering hearing I am Woman as a little girl and thinking what an outlandish fantasy she was singing of. In 1971 I was five and the world had already taught me that women could do hardly anything. Over the years I’ve danced to her songs with so many roaring women. Here’s to the power of music writing dancing and art #helenreddy #womensliberation

06.01.2022 Day 1 of lockdown, reading through some bookshop stock I’ve been saving up. So today I’ve been brushing up on my fortune telling skills, and enjoying an old ufology classic. Seems a good time for dipping into the unexpected and the inexplicable. #lockdownreading #secondhandbooks #metaphysics

06.01.2022 To all the procrastinators, the forgetters, the frantically busy-ers, the loved ones of the hard-to-buy-fors, and the people who just like to choose their own...we have bespoke handmade gift vouchers!

04.01.2022 We’re going #bookseries mad for #loveyourbookshop day. Today we are excited to bundle up the whole Tales of the City series. Perfect spring long weekend reading. #secondhandbooks #armisteadmaupin

03.01.2022 We love these old Time Life food books from around the world. Beautiful photography, hip 1970s style global cuisine, and lovely narratives about food culture in each country. No prizes for matching these covers with their regions, but we encourage participation. #foodsoftheworld #secondhandbooks #recycledreads

02.01.2022 Newly stocked shelves and chic mid century chairs outside ready for a sunny #loveyourbookshopday tomorrow. #secondhandbooks #shoplocal #blackwood

01.01.2022 Go buy some books on #loveyourbookshopday today and don’t forget your local #secondhandbooks shop! Where else could you find half a dozen vintage hardback Patrick Whites?
