24.01.2022 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/

23.01.2022 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

22.01.2022 New Island magazine! 160th issue - hot off the press. Ooh la la Island magazine

22.01.2022 This is my crochet hook. There are many like it, but this one is mine... Is your lettuce looking a bit wilted? Perhaps your falafel isn't round enough? Fear not! We have the title for you!

21.01.2022 Join us tonight at 5.30pm for the launch of Graeme Hetherington's new collection of poetry, 'Another Love, Another Life'. This is a free event and all are welcome. See our website for more details https://www.hobartbookshop.com.au/upcoming/

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.

20.01.2022 Tomorrow is the weekend, which means its perfect timing for the new Nick Hornby novel to come out and for us all to read it by Monday. 'The person you are with is just like you - same background, same age, same interests. The perfect match. And it is a disaster.Then, when and where you least expect it, you meet someone new. You seem to have nothing in common and yet, somehow, it feels totally right...' $32.99

19.01.2022 '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.

18.01.2022 In two weeks time it is Love Your Bookshop Day and we are offering 10% off of EVERYTHING! We'll be open 9am-5pm so that's a solid 8 hours of browsing time... #LYBD2020

18.01.2022 '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

16.01.2022 Vale Jan Morris.

15.01.2022 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.

15.01.2022 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).

14.01.2022 Congratulations to all the shortlisted authors! Has anyone picked a winner yet?

13.01.2022 Do you need some tiny books in your life?

13.01.2022 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

12.01.2022 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!

10.01.2022 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.

10.01.2022 Join us next Sunday at 11.00am for the launch, by Les Winspear, of Lian Tanner's new children's book, 'A Clue for Clara'. This is going to be a lot of a fun! This is a free event and all are welcome. See our website for more details https://www.hobartbookshop.com.au/upcoming/ Lian Tanner Author

09.01.2022 Just a reminder to get in soon for our fabulous event this Wednesday the 25th November. https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=685793&

07.01.2022 Next Wednesday at 5.30pm, we are pleased to be hosting the launch of Graeme Hetherington's new collection of poetry, 'Another Love, Another Life'. This is a free event and all are welcome. See our website for more details https://www.hobartbookshop.com.au/upcoming/

07.01.2022 If you found yourself completely bewildered by Charlie Kaufman's adaptation of 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things', you're not alone. But fear not! We have in stock the novel that it is actually based on and it will alllll make sense if you read this, we promise. $19.99

07.01.2022 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

06.01.2022 If only we could find out what was in this box!

05.01.2022 We've just unpacked the new Ken Follett! 'The Evening and the Morning' is a historical epic, beginning in 997 CE (hello Vikings!) and ending where 'The Pillars of the Earth' begins. $44.99, which is a bargain when you think about how many pages Ken gives you for that.

05.01.2022 Today is Love Your Bookshop Day and we are celebrating all things book-y by having a sale!!

02.01.2022 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

01.01.2022 '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

01.01.2022 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.
