I’ve been pondering the vast leap in numbers of published authors now that many companies make it so easy to publish your own manuscripts and just wondering what that does to the market. I heard some numbers the other day and I forget the exact digits but my memory tells me it ...

There is a chance this will be my last Friday Photos. I had issues with the software today and it took forever to open the files to reduce the size. If that happens again next week I’m not going to bother. While I have time over the next few weeks I ...
A few gems for you today. Earlier this week I talked about Prahran Market and their chocolate festival. Here’s a final photo I took there, the Potato Man who is fourth generation Prahran Market has this wonderful potato as well many different types for buying. Hippo potato Would you believe this ...
This is what I see on my way into uni on a Monday morning, I have an 8am lecture so I have to be up bright and early, just like these people. Hot air balloon When you figure out what an ‘orgnanisation’ is I’ll be happy to know. Proofreading is ...
So, here we go I’ve started uni and now the photos and stories start. Here’s the outside of the DUSA Bookshop (DUSA, Deakin University Student Association), I’ll probably take one inside as well when I’m a bit more comfortable to ask if I’m allowed. Schwarzkoph. Loved this typo. It’s meant ...
Can’t remember the name of this town. We stopped here for lunch on the way to Port Fairy. This Public Library is now the Information Centre. Public Library I don’t like embarrassing companies when they can’t spell their own company on the package so you can use your own eyes to figure ...
The first Friday Photos for the year. Two things today, proofreading is important, if you’re dyslexic or not good at spotting typos always ask someone else…preferably someone good at it. Scroll down and see why. This first one is sorted by a google search as google does insert the ‘L’ ...
Found this absolutely beautiful book of music sitting casually in a church somewhere in Israel but I don’t remember where. I found this sticker on a packet of plastic plates rather amusing. Not only are they telling us the ingredients but they have a perfectly logical typo. Tion and Sion ...
Insert caption here: your meaning of ‘Backed beans’ I loved this cafe, food served pretentiously but with a bare bones menu complete with typos The Complete Borrowers by Mary Norton. Loved this series of adventures when I was young and just because they’re so great here’s a link to buy ...
I dub thee Sir Dragonlance Blue as I can’t read the language. Found in the Posh Op Shop corner Grange and Glen Huntly Roads, Glen Huntly. I dub thee Sir Dragonlance Red as I am remiss in not being able to read the language. Also found in the Posh Op ...
If you know what these are then you’re obviously a Discworld fan and you need to join us at Carnegie Library between 11 am and 4pm Sunday 28th June! If you don’t you might want to consider reading the books. They’re hedging their bets with the apostrophes and steak here. ...
This was a lovely room in an op shop in Oakleigh. They’ve taken over a whole house and one room is entirely books. If I moved in there I’d keep this room as my library. I’m not certain is someone can’t spell Kama Sutra or if it’s a play on ...
I love this one. I’m sure they’re a really good dry cleaning business but their signwriter missed something. I’ve been waiting for ages for one of these and then I take the worst photo. Are they corn or carrots? Found this little beauty at a market. It spins around to ...
Just a little bit of Charles Dickens at the library. I’m taking submissions. What is ‘Enganged’? Tell me your definition. I think it’ s obvious what the problem is here. ...
Loved this book shelf so much but we don’t have room for it. Slight problem with spelling here, see if you can spot it. Can someone tell me what 50% whole halves could mean? I do have some ideas but I’d like confirmation. ...
