My kind of bookshop

The Whistling Fish Bookshop and Cafe in Robe, South Australia is my kind of book store. It's the antithesis of the hulking great chain store - it's in a small seaside town and it's quirky, individual and rustic...


There's even a 'review table' where the hand picked books are "honestly and lovingly critiqued" - you can see the review tags tied sweetly around the books:




And of course there's a cafe to while away the hours...


Now if I could just find something similar in Melbourne I'd definitely become a 'regular'!


P.S. Apologies for going AWOL - December and January are usually the busiest time of year for me work-wise and so the blogging had to take a back seat.  I'm definitely looking forward to doing much more blogging in 2012. So, belated Christmas wishes and happy new year to the very few readers I have left!

  2. Oooh.....what a delicious book shop Lee. I would love to while away some time there. The hanndwritten reviews on the books are a lovely touch. Meant to thank you for the gorgeous soap you gave me for Christmas. I love special soaps and I am luxuriating in using one of them each day in my shower. You are very thoughtful xx
