Since the collapse of the monolithic Borders I have had to…read moreturn to foreign shores for my bookish needs. Dymocks is a lot smaller than Borders, but it has a more friendlier and down to earth vibe. (Dymocks would be Jen Aniston to Borders Angelina Jolie.) Facing stiff competition from online retailers, Dymocks has also done a good job of keeping in tune with customers and staying current. They now offer e-books for purchasing, $5 australia wide deliveries and a pretty extensive catalogue of the latest literary offerings. The staff can offer an exhaustive list of recommendations and being the oldest australian-owned bookstore you know you're in good hands.

He was lovely and excited to see we had some music books as he said we don't get many of them. We had also sorted them into their genre and none were torn and dirty. So disappointed by what we saw. Yes I have worked as a volunteer so I do know what is exceptable and not. A lot of them were brand new. I just hope they are going to help people less fortunate than us. Just sad to see how these were handled.

Well, when flying Qantas from Brisbane you no longer need to be raked over hot coals for a meager coffee, thanks to the newly opened Watermark Books. They've been open only two or three weeks and as well as supplying you with a decent range of books and stationary to keep you entertained once in flight, there's a café kiosk pouring Campos Coffee at standard café prices ($3.60 for a small coffee) as well as a small selection of cakes, quiches and muffins. And the real bonus, kids? Their long communal tables situated mid-store. Set your phone up as a hotspot, pop up that laptop or iPad, order your coffee of choice and enjoy a peaceful power work session before your flight departs.

Book cafes are also a love of mine so I thought I'd give it a go. Coffee was fine, not the best I've ever had but totally drinkable. Got a caramel tart which while diabetes-inducing was pretty good. My coffee came with a tiny choc chip cookie on the rim (free things will win me over no matter the scale!) - so cute! Service was good and friendly - the guy who served me was pleasant despite still being at work at 5pm on a Friday afternoon. Sat. Ate. Caffienated. Paged through books I had no intention of buying.... Not a bad way to wait around for my flight!
