We’ve loved being part of the Melbourne Writers Festival this year, and we’ve loved having so many passionate readers come explore our pop-up Festival Bookshop.
As well as being a hub of literary recommendations from our booksellers, the Festival Bookshop has also been home to book signings by the amazing authors who’ve appeared in this year’s programs.
Here are some photos from the past week.
