Today’s Friday Photos is brought to you by Blarney Books, Port Fairy. Not that they’re paying me but it does sound more official. You can see from the photo they take up a whole building with a lovely Norfolk Pine sitting outside giving shade. I could have taken ever so many ...

Today’s Friday Photos is brought to you by Ironbird Books in Port Fairy, not that they’re paying me for this as they’re not but that every photo today was taken there. I probably should have mentioned to them my predilection for taking photos in bookshops and why but I didn’t. ...
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’ ...
Getting my mojo in gear and scheduling these in advance so you don’t miss out. This Book Grocer is in Hall Street, Moonee Ponds despite Google thinking it’s in Puckle Street. It’s a couple of doors down from the best bar, The Valley Cellardoor. Don’t ask me about their alcoholic beverages ...
I have a couple of gems for you today. This first one is average as they’re just spelling it as it sounds and I missed the really good one which was ‘accommodation’ spelled ‘acccommodation’, it went off the screen too quickly for me to get a screen shot. Asparugus I loved ...
Dispicable Me As you know I’m not above pointing out other people’s typos. It’s not because I’m perfect and have none of my own but more because I can. Little Library A frame The Little Library is a free library in Melbourne Central, it’s somewhere on one of the upper floors ...
This is the last article dedicated to the Book Expo of 2015. I’ll try to remember to mention it when I scribble a few words about the books I got there. Waves in the Desert by Kimberly Beadle Beadle is donating some of her sales to Oxfam, putting her money where her ...
More authors from the Book Expo 2015. Monkey Business by Flavia Ursino & Kevin Coleman Where else can you find psychics and AIDS but in Monkey Business? Opal Ridge by Victoria Capper Written by a lady who knows about the bush as she’s lived there, it’s the first in a trilogy ...
The second in this series of author photos from the Book Expo 2015. Cycle of Life by Carol Cooke Carol Cooke is an amazing lady, I bemoan the fact I had no time to actually sit and listen to her story. Despite having MS she has overcome adversity and won ...
This is the first lot of photos of authors from the Book Expo 2015. I ran out of time to take photos of everyone so you’ve only got four Fridays of these. Abandoned by Warren Craig Shan Shan does not look like your typical author being in IT but as we all ...
Gold Denim I’m looking at remaking my Moist von Lipwig suit. It’s an awkward thing as I don’t want to pay the earth, I want to be able to throw it in the machine and I want it to be really comfortable as well as actually looking good. While I ...
My friend Death One of the things I get up to in my ‘spare’ time is the Victorian Discworld Klatch. We hold functions every month and Death turns up for as many as possible. Death is also the door troll and greets you as you come up the drive or ...
Loved the name of this book Possum Pie Beetroot Beer and Lamingtons by Victoria Heywood, could there possibly be a comma missing from this title? This business can’t spell their key word Container building? I’m not sure what the architect was thinking but this building reminds me of the container ...
While I ponder Friday Photos I’ll keep posting. I totally agree, it is a fold down seat but does it fold up again? Found this lovely little display in a book shop in Box Hill but can I remember where it was? That same window asked a question Where has ...
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 ...
