Yep, Brunswick Bound without a doubt!

It's at 361 Sydney Road and has an awesome book and music selection.

And it's got an art gallery upstairs as well

Readings on Lygon is my local. You will see me lurking around the specials table frequently.

So sad to see Andrew's Bookstore in the middle of Lygon Court turned into a Borders Outlet

Booo. Andrew's used to have some really interesting books at good prices.

I a Readings staff member call the Borders "the Devil across the road" when he was on the phone the other day! heheh

Thanks bub. I'd walked past it like a billion times but when I actually stopped in I found a freaking treasure trove of goodness.

I think you will be impressed with our collection of beat stuff. And by the fact that your dub mixes get played regularly.
