    Thanks to my 'contacts' in the 'industry' *cough* I have come across the information that the Angus & Robertson at 379 Collins St, city, is closing down on Friday for refurbishment...


    ...which means, this Thursday 18th of January, ALL STOCK IS 50% OFF! Every single novel, text book, kids book, autobiography and doodad thingy is half price!


    So come in, get cheap reads, stock up on presents for next xmas etc, whatever takes your fancy!

    I'll probably be there myself around lunchtime (I work upstairs :p)

    Ohhhh...

    Must. Not. Spend. More. Money...

    ...eh, screw it, I have to go. I've got to get to work at midday, so I'll pop by in the morning- what time does the store open?

    Oh- and has this sale widely publicised? Will I get crushed in a sea of crazed bibliophiles?

    Sorry Hawky, but I figured it wasn't so much spam as it was 'lookee, we're all poor but books are cheap!' ;)


    And the store opens at around 9am. Well, it's open when I'm slinking into work at 9.05, so I'm assuming that's when it opens :p


    The people at the office have been told (we had our own special couple of hours today) but I'm pretty sure it's going to be advertised on the day. But no one is ever in the store early!

    I'll PM you my mobile number, Daphne, so I can come downstairs and buy my coffee and say hi :)

    Excellent...I'll pop by at 9ish, evaporate my last paycheck, and say hi to you, Jess :)

    Edit: Asked where the store was before realising that the address was right in front of my nose in the initial post :p

    I thought I was the only person silly enough to sleep through the day?

    However, since I'm not working on Thursday I may trek down to pick some some books.

    Why? Why do you do this to me? The one day that I can't make it, you do this.

    War. War on you.

    No problems at all. I still managed to pick up some decent books, and was complimented nicely by the check-out girl. :p
