Up at the Gold Coast and hubby read that there is a bookfair up here all week. At the racecourse. We went last year at the end for the half price day and it was still dear. Good books, but lots left at the end.

Thanks for the info about the book fair at Geelong West Kelly. I didn't get last weekend's paper where it probably would have been advertised.

Hi Faraway - just wanted to ask you (being a fellow Sandgroper) about booksales. Are you off to the Red Cross one in a few weeks? We don't seem to get that many booksales over here do we, or am I just missing them all 🙂
