We headed up to Brisbane last Saturday to see Hairspray the musical (Harvest Rain is the company that produced it and it was brilliant). Anyway, Glen had organised a two bedroom apartment in the city and while we waited on his arrival, Steve and I did a bit of shopping. Steve then ventured into JB HighFi, while I made my way to my favourite bookshop in Brisbane, Archives Fine Books 'One Million Books on Every Topic'. Now, I don't think they mean that literally, otherwise they would have a staggering number of books, but they possibly do come close to a million books on lots of topics.
As many of you know, I'm a bit of a bibliophile and have a number of types of books that I collect including: books on Papua New Guinea; natural history books; the books of Gerald Durrell; and marriage guidance books published up until the early 60s. I love this place. I never know what I will find.
