This Saturday 8 August is National Bookshop Day – an annual celebration of bookshops across the country. And we’d love you to come by one of our five shops and join in the fun.

If you’re a coffee lover as well as book lover, you’re in luck…

On the day, we’ll be offering 10% off all full-priced books to any customer who presents a coffee cup from Market Lane Coffee that features a special Oslo Davis bike illustration (see image below). Please note, this offer is not available with any other offer.

You can find your nearest Market Lane coffee outlet at the following locations:

• 176 Faraday Street, Carlton (just around the corner from our Carlton shop!)
• Shop 13 Prahran Market, 163 Commercial Road, South Yarra
• Queen Vic Market, Shop 73-76 Dairy Produce Hall, Melbourne (our State Library and Carlton shops aren’t far away)
• 109-111 Therry Street, Melbourne (our State Library and Carlton shops aren’t far away)

We also have something special planned for the younger book-lovers in your family – a fun-packed story time at our St Kilda shop located on Acland Street, featuring author extraordinaire Tony Wilson.

Wilson will read from his quirky new book, The Cow Tripped Over the Moon. How many attempts will it take before Cow makes her famous high-flying leap?

Parade prizes will be given and morning tea will be served. Free, but please book here.
