Thanks also for fielding questions and comments.<br /><br />Your bookshop is a welcome refuge in a strip which is succumbing to a monoculture of eateries.<br /><br />Bye for now<br />dañadopfdañadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018649011161726238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397050728450974150.post-28754700979708625882010-05-16T12:08:15.279+10:002010-05-16T12:08:15.279+10:00Pasteup still there outside my bookshop.. getting ...Pasteup still there outside my bookshop.. getting some pretty funny comments. One young lady asked whether it was ME when I was 'younger'!!!<br />I told her that I was never that lucky.<br /><br />Also, an elderly lady donating some books to me said "Oh I read about those things! And what are those other ones? (me: stencils?) Yes, I think they are wonderful, making the place more colourful!"<br />So you have at least one fan in the 70s!<br /><br /><br /><br />-Paul Perry, AllSorts BookshopAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397050728450974150.post-3870020431824403652010-05-07T13:41:52.092+10:002010-05-07T13:41:52.092+10:00Imagine my suprise to find Harold "The Man Wh...Imagine my suprise to find Harold "The Man Who Invented Sex" Robbins pasted on my doorway this morning! What an honour!<br /><br />Yes, Robbins has long gone.. the odd battered one in an op shop perhaps, but I haven't had one for many years.<br /><br />Speaking of Thornbury bookshops, Fully Booked at 824 High St (just back from Plenty Rd) is well worth a visit. Proprietors Tige & Ra are encyclopedic on politics, lit & cinema. Don't know if there are any Robbins novels there. But, these days, if you want gratuitous sex & violence, there is always the mainstream TV & the Xbox.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for my 5 minutes of fame.<br />paul "AllSorts" perry<br />275 High Northcote <br />12 Noon - 6PM 7 days a week (and nearly every night as well)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397050728450974150.post-51636372185040097512010-05-07T09:16:34.487+10:002010-05-07T09:16:34.487+10:00great image danado. and your work is always so int...great image danado. and your work is always so interesting to read about. nice one!Urban Cake Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301883420847132659noreply@blogger.com
