I loved working with this guy, with dry humor and with a refreshing curmudgeonly attitude that…read morehappily rolled off me. I think he's got some Afrikaans in him as he's a bit Dutch and is from South Africa. That came up when I came in wearing my Springboks (Rugby) hat, explaining that my Nephew lives there and it was great way of not being taken as an American at first. What followed was a nice American politics back-and-forth, with one other customer joining in. Talking with the locals is almost always a fun learning experience for me. I settled on a nice Tasmania map, and received a nice Tasmanian Tiger print as a bonus. Both were wrapped up nicely for the eventual long journey home. There were more expensive choices and additional selections, and I was happy to get out of there without picking out more.

When my husband and I first came upon this place there was no one there even though the opening…read morehours stated that it should have been open. Next thing, a gentleman appeared in the side alley and invited us into his shop. We were both amazed and fascinated by the antique maps and photographs on display and mused over them asking questions. After half an hour or so we got to know the owner, Gerald, whose personality, humour and knowledge will stay with us forever. Just listening to him was mesmorising as he informed us of the history of the maps he has on display. Of course we found the 'one' that we had to purchase. Gerald is also a professional framer. He went above and beyond (we had to fly back to Sydney the next morning) by not only framing and packaging our purchase, but ended up driving us to Hobart Airport so that we didn't miss our flight. This was truly an experience that my husband will talk about in years to come when visitors to our home reflect on the beautiful artwork we purchased from this historical store. Thank you so much Gerald. We will definitely meet up with you again when we next visit Hobart.

An amazing find on Salamanca Place. If you're a lady who loves funky jewellery, Rebecca Roth is…read morewell worth a visit. And make sure you spare some time, as you could spend an hour in here trying on all the beautiful options. RR specialises in resin jewellery. So the question becomes, how does RR compare to Dinosaur Designs? Very well in my opinion: equivalent in creativity, exceeds in choice and is far less expensive.

And if you look at my picture, the inventory spills out nicely into one of the back alleys of Salamanca. The enthusiastic owner (pictured) was more than happy to find and sell me a book of cartoons by the late Jon Kudelka. His iconic "Tasmania is Awful" tea towel can be seen on the phone booth.

This is a bookstore for lovers not of stories or information, but of BOOKS themselves; books as objects of beauty, history and desirability. In addition, the folks running this store are always kind and helpful, there are charming antiques to browse, and they also purchase secondhand books at times. Their opening hours are good considering the small size and focus of the place. Well worth a look.
