I always joke that I could live in our shop, but in my “other home” of Benalla in Victoria, there is a magnificant secondhand bookstore that I could seriously set up camp in. On Tuesday this week I spent almost two hours in there (and could easily have been there longer had I not had to go back to work at my other-other job!)
Good Reading is approximately five times the size of JimmyD’s. It is an adventure in there. In the front room its mostly fiction, there is a room of kids books and craft, a wall of cooking, a wall of travel books, a wall of art books (when my husband loses me he knows to look here… or in the aussie author section) and that is not even half of just the downstairs section! It sounds daunting but if you love books, you will adore this shop.
Like JimmyD’s, Good Reading list some of their stock on Abebooks.com and booksandcollectibles.com.au. But if you are ever in North-East Victoria, pop in and say hi to Delfina and Anna. Tell them I sent you!
Happy reading, L’Yan.
P.S. I left with Eragon, Shantaram, Tim Winton’s The Deep, and some obscure historical fiction I can’t wait to sink my teeth into. I just can’t leave that place empty handed!
