Book Affair coming to Smith St

14 May 2009

Update 17 May 2009: the book shop is open already!

The pawn shop on Smith St has closed and is to be replaced by second hand book shop Book Affair (which is on Elgin St in Carlton). I’m not sure if it’s as well as or instead of the Carlton shop but when it opens I will go in and find out!

    loving the folded book sculpture in the window – hopefully the shop’s contents will be just as quirky and interesting…

    I hadn’t even noticed that until you commented on it!
