Big Ups Rob & Susie

Thanks for the heads up. It is great news. I better go along and see what they have in stock.
Looks like this Saturday is going to be shopping on Sydney Rd day.

Thanks Stormer!

It's not just for northsiders though; we happily serve all denominations

Only open three days but it's been fun so far: It's cool having a gig where you get chat to folks most of the day so by all means come and pay us a visit. It's still very much a work in progress so improvement suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the feedback, bRb and Gnat. I must admit, the feedback overall has been really positive.

Big thanks must go to mij for a ridiculous amount of help; stormer, brain, little evil, GM and everyone else that has assisted in getting this up and running.

LOL I was waiting for that!

Drove past Brunswick Bound the other day and had to ask the question
if it was a book binder or a book store. My girlfriend will go nuts, she loves
a good read and has worked in more than a few book stores in her life.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Mr. John Stinson is the
Don as far as book binding is concerned. Attention to detail is second to none...

NONE I TELL YOU!

....Plus he is a ripper bloke.

Thanks for kind words, folks.

Stormer's right, the hours are roughly 10 to 6, though tonight I did have Andy the T-shirt guy over, playing his Bahaus, Bela Lugosi's dead, 12" at 6.30 so we didn't really close until 7

Still the best book shop ever in the history of bookshops.

Music (both vinyl and CDs) is awesome as well

And the fifties Japanese samurai movies rock

The porn is top notch as well

I meant art books
