Better
Read than Dead - 265 King Street, Newtown
Every week there seems to be another bookstore opening
up on indi King Street.
Better Read Than Dead is the uncontested jewel in the crown.
Berkelouw - Leichhardt and Darlinghurst
With
shops on Norton and Oxford Street, these stores combine old school
depth with bright n'shiny.
If I can't get it there my next stop is usually the Fisher library
at Sydney University.

Polyester

Street, Brunswick
Full
of perverts, throw-backs and degenerate gamblers... this well appointed
book store
provides a home-away-home for the connoisseurs of fine publishing.
I urge you toexperience
its charm in person - but if you must visit them online go to www.polyester.com.au

Imprints
- 107 Hindley Street, Adelaide
I think it's fair to say the Adelaide Festival* wouldn't
be able to
find its arse with both hands if Imprints shifted.
* One of four great Arts festivals in the world.
