21.01.2022 This is why I sell books - read books - talk about books - write books. Its why reading teachers - from Day Dot to university - do such important work. We are here, we work with our people, and we love it!

So, see you on Saturday for your very own fukubukuro!

20.01.2022 We are closing our shop. Saturday is our last day. We have many books and gifts at half price. Help us clear our shop and say goodbye to 50 years of selling books to the readers of northern Tasmania.

20.01.2022 Check out the research reported in the New York Times below. Interesting that reading aloud exploded in the US after the publication of the first edition of Jim Treleases Read-Aloud Handbook in 1979. The Eighth Edition of this will be published later this year. So, go read to your children! And dont stop when they can read. Children through their primary years benefit from hearing books read to them.

19.01.2022 An American booksellers take on the value of bookshops. Id add to that: the writer receives a percentage of the sale price of the book.

17.01.2022 Fascinating survey out of the US. Two conclusions I draw: 1. The absolutely central role played by school libraries in placing books in the hands of our children. 2. Children are reading less over the summer, which is alarming.
