Yess, welcome to Canberra. Plenty of good bookshops. Book Lore in
Lyneham is an excellent used bookshop, and Paperchain in Manuka the
pick of the independents. Some good used bookshops in Fyshwick, but
beware of the academic remainders warehouse in Fyshwick. That's a good
place to get sucked into for a couple of hours - it's kind of a black
hole vortex in there where time and space have no meaning - and if you
can find your way out you've got a trolley load of books you simply
had to have. Steer clear of this one, it's dangerous. it's in Kembla
Street.
Lifeline Spring Bookfair is coming up. That's a weekend starting on
Friday. Another huge shed full of books and at the end they sell you a
bag full of what's left for ten dollars a pop.
Happy to attend a BC get together. We've been kind of slack. I'm off
to the Charleston BC thing in mid October, so sometime before then
would be nice. I can take slender volumes with me to pass on.
That's the Belgian Beer Cafe in Kingston?
