25.01.2022 Happy publication day to these guys! Call (03) 6223 1803, email [email protected] or PM if you would like us to put a copy aside for you - we have oodles of boxes!

24.01.2022 'People are always surprised to see clues to my being a normal kind of guy. As if I'm somehow letting the team down.' Happy birthday Mr Cave.

23.01.2022 Books make the perfect gift. Our staff have a wealth of knowledge and always keen to assist with recommendations. Buy in-store and support local.

21.01.2022 It's almost time for the launch of 'A Clue For Clara'! Lian Tanner and guests will be here at 11 am today - fellow wannabe detective chickens welcome! #liantanner

19.01.2022 Tony Flowers visited and kindly signed copies of his latest illustrated work 'Small Town' by Phillip Gwynne - a heartwarming book about the importance of community spirit. Limited signed copies available now Check out his Wordpress site here: https://tonyflowersillustrator.wordpress.com/

19.01.2022 'The Ickabog' is a new, standalone story which J.K. Rowling initially published online for families to enjoy during lockdown but after running an artwork competition for her younger readers, we now have lovely, hardback copies which include all of their wonderful illustrations. Freshly unpacked and waiting for you! . @littlebrown @hachettekids #jkrowling #ickabog #childrensart #hobartbookshop #salamanca

19.01.2022 Don’t forget our competition - have you entered? Make sure to respond by 14th December. We are looking forward to announcing the winner next week.

19.01.2022 There are some nice editions of George Orwell's titles out there but these might be our new favourites! With dust jackets designed by Elizabeth Friedlander and a price tag of only $24.99 we're finding them awfully hard to resist.

18.01.2022 If only we could find out what was in this box!

17.01.2022 Do you need some tiny books in your life?

17.01.2022 Ziggy would like to introduce you to his new favourite book. He promised that the fact that it's about dogs is a pure coincidence. 'Dog' by Shaun Tan (winner of the prestigious Kate Greenaway medal) is a beautifully poetic and gorgeously illustrated reflection on the relationship between dogs and humans. For young, old and canine alike, prepare to have your heartstrings pulled.

16.01.2022 Hetty McKinnon knocked our culinary socks off with 'Community' and then again with 'Neighbourhood' so we are very excited to have unpacked her new cookbook, 'To Asia, With Love'. 'A joyous return to the humble, yet deeply nurturing flavours and meals of my childhood as a Chinese girl born in Australia.' Swoon. We have a few signed copies so don't be afraid to call (03) 6223 1803, email [email protected] or PM us if you would like a copy. $39.99

16.01.2022 CLARA made a surprising guest appearance today - she is a rather clever chook! Read all about her in the fantastic new book by Lian Tanner - 'A Clue for Clara'. #liantanner #allenandunwin #childrensbooks

16.01.2022 Congratulations to Douglas Stuart for winning the Booker Prize with his debut novel, 'Shuggie Bain'. 'It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. But as she descends deeper into drink, her three children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest...' Heartbreaking, beautiful, brutal. Shuggie will stay with you long after you finish the last page.

13.01.2022 'Boy on Fire' is Nick Cave's creation story. This is a portrait of the artist as, first, a boy, and then as a young man. A deeply insightful work which charts his family, friends, influences, milieu and, most of all, his music, it reveals how Nick Cave shaped himself into the extraordinary artist he would become. Freshly unpacked!

13.01.2022 Today is Love Your Bookshop Day and we are celebrating all things book-y by having a sale!!

13.01.2022 Tune in to see the wonderful Lian Tanner Author at our little shop!

09.01.2022 Vale Jan Morris.

08.01.2022 Don't forget about the two events this Saturday at The Hobart Bookshop, both books featuring Tasmanian animals. There are still a few booking spots left to view the live reptiles, please keep scrolling down to see later sessions in the day.

07.01.2022 A huge congratulations to Tara June Winch for winning the Premier's Literary Award for Fiction with her incredible title 'The Yield'. This is a book you won't forget in a hurry. . @penguinbooksaus @tara_june_winch #pmlitawards

04.01.2022 Saroo Brierley's journey home to a small village in India with the help of Google Earth became an internationally bestselling book and inspired the major motion picture 'Lion'. But the story of how his adoptive mother, Sue, came into his life half a world away in Tasmania is every bit as riveting... $34.99, in stock now.

04.01.2022 Carlo Rovelli is one of our most beloved scientists but he is also a masterful storyteller. Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces range widely - from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, to travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, to mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism. Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential physicists of our age.

04.01.2022 Apparently this man is really well known? Anyway, we have so many copies of his new book that we are offering it for $55.00 (RRP $65.00).

04.01.2022 Next Saturday is Love Your Bookshop Day and we are celebrating our love of books by offering 10% off of everything in store. That's everything from Atwood to Zweig (and everything before, between and after).

03.01.2022 Before she became one of the world's most important and loved novelists, Margaret Atwood was a poet. 'Dearly' is her first collection in over a decade. It brings together many of her most recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled - from minutely perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and legend. $27.99

01.01.2022 'Skunk and Badger' is being described as a cross between 'Winnie-the-Pooh' and 'Wallace and Gromit' BUT it is also written by the lovely author Amy Timberlake and illustrated by Jon Klassen (!!). We would say this isn't just for younger readers because we are obsessed (there's really no other word for it) and apparently we are grownups. It is beautiful and heart warming and it's going to be a series! $22.99

01.01.2022 NAIDOC 2020, Always Was, Always Will Be. This year we acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia's original inhabitants. We have many great books on hand to help celebrate our country's First Nations people, and to assist discussion at your school or workplace. Call us to find out what we have on hand! https://www.naidoc.org.au/get-involved/2020-theme

01.01.2022 There have been some really wonderful non-fiction books published recently about Greek myths but this is the first one in a long time to focus on the women in them. Pandora, Medusa, the Amazons, Eurydice and many more... You know it's going to be a good 'un when the dedication says: "For my mum, who always thought a woman with an axe was more interesting than a princess."

01.01.2022 Just a reminder to get in soon for our fabulous event this Wednesday the 25th November. https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=685793&
