Mountains of Books Book Fair

If you're in the Dandenongs this weekend, definitely drop in on the Mountains of Books Book Fair at Ferny Creek. I went earlier this afternoon and there are lots of great stalls, including Babyboomer Books all the way from South Australia. Joan, who used to run The Old Bakery Bookshop at Warrandyte, has a stall there too, and it was good to see her again. Jilly Bookworm's chilren's book stall has loads of lovely hardbacks by authors like Elinor M Brent-Dyer, Enid Blyton, Lorna Hill, Lucy Maud Montgomery etc. Local bookshops with stalls there include Kallista Books, Rainy Day Books and Wormhole Books. Oh, and there's a great sausage sizzle outside the hall.

Book fair this weekend

I haven't updated this blog for ages ... but then, I haven't visited any bookshops for ages. Work, family and a long, cold and wet winter have all conspired to prevent me from going on any bookshop jaunts.

But, for anyone who might still check this blog occasionally, I thought I'd mention that the Mountains of Books book fair takes place at Ferny Creek in the Dandenong Ranges this weekend. More info here. Be there or be the proverbial! :)
