I've written some posts about bookstores here - and they've been about stores I've been to.
However, I've just heard about one here in Brisbane which I really need to find! It's called Logical Unsanity Bookshed and it's in Bardon; not far from Mt Coot-tha! However, it's a bookstore with a difference.
For one thing it's open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, doesn't have anyone to serve you and has an honour system in place.
Very cool if you ask me!
Also, the owners of it have put suggested prices on their books so you have an idea of what they think you should pay; but you make the final offer yourself... you don't pay what they dictate! How wicked is that?
They do take books from the public and urge you give them books to resell... recycle... and so there's no waste and others get to read what you've read.
I'm going to make a day of it while I'm out book hunting one day and let you all know what I think.
Otherwise, here's the link to where I heard about it. Until my next post, happy reading.

Ooh! If I lived there, I would definitely be checking that out!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to check it out over the next month or two... I thought I had replied to you, but I must have clicked on home instead of publish.. :P
