THE NEW WINDOW and a NEW THEME

Springtime has arrived and the repaired window has been finished.   This is just the right time to have a new window display with a Spring theme.

For boys of all ages who love trains this is an opportunity to add to your collection of books and even if you have a favourite book that is not in stock, then Meryll will gladly do a search on your behalf throughout her network of contact worldwide.  It's always the right time to get a great book.

PACKING FOR A HOLIDAY

The following article appeared in the Melbourne Sun-Herald last week.  

"Books beat e-readers when it comes to literature to take on holiday, a survey of 2000 readers has found.

As much as 71 per cent of travellers prefer a real book to an electronic version.  Most said they enjoyed the feel of a real book.

Sixty-seven per cent said they turn to friends and family for book recommendations".

So it seems that "real" books are a must when it comes to packing the suitcase for a holiday.  

In fact "real" books are a must for any occasion and any season as far as many of us are concerned.

It was also interesting to read that 67 per cent of respondents to the survey said they turn to friends and family for book recommendations.  

What a good idea to make a "wish-list" of authors and book titles and provide them to all your friends and family members as suggestions for gifts at any time of the year.   Then you'll always be sure of getting the book that you want!   Whatever season.

ALMOST THERE!

It's taken a while, but work has started on the replacement window and repairs to the front wall of the shop, following the accident when a motorist inadvertently accelerated instead of reversing and landed up crashing through the wall.  

The shop has been operating during this time of confusion and Meryll is looking forward to presenting a special window display in anticipation of Father's Day.  Keep tuned!
