New Stock

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lots of exciting things going on on the stock front today.

The Kingston store has just received a swathe of, and I'll be frank here, shit hot books. The temporary sale is over, and we're back to business as usual, albeit with a revitalised inventory and a spring in the proverbial.

The Melbourne stores are all about to receive a stack more wonderful remainders. You'll see some Kerouac, Nick Hornby, Richard Dawkins, Roald Dahl, Hunter S. Thompson and many others. The prices are quite ridiculous, as recent visitors to the store will be able to confirm.

Sorry to drag things down with a book post, but one a month is my new target.

Can't stop. You'll be fine here on your own.

I have a theory that there's nothing in the world that can't be explained / laughed away / heralded with a quote from 'Top Gun' or Dahl's 'BFG'. So you've got Dahl on sale, but hey, was 'Top Gun' ever novelised? I'm betting it would sell like hot cakes. Let me know when it's in-store.

Dear Kettle,

I don't know - do you think that uplifting guitar solo would translate well to the page? And could any descriptive passage do justice to Kelly McGillis' fiery beauty?

That said, it's a great idea. I would buy it if I could find it.

I bought five books at your Sydney Rd store over the weekend for the amazing price of $25 - plus my Dad bought two. I was going to ask the fella at the desk for my $10 voucher, but there were hot chicks around and I didn't want to say, "Um, The Book Grocer himself said I could have $10 off because I have a Nietzsche tattoo that's not the 'abyss' quote," (which could have lead to the humiliation of having to remove my suit jacket, vest and shirt to prove it.) Nope, better to buy at rack-(discounted)-rate.
