Aren't book fairs dandy? I love being able to show up with a collection of gold coins and leave with a fat stack of fiction.
The good folk at Double Bay's Woollahra Library believe all books were created equal, and are hosting a big book fair to help you prepare for a solid three months of summer reading.
Running across two days, Saturday November 24 and Sunday, November 25, the sale will have works from all genres and types, so if you're a fiend for romance, sci-fi, drama, young adult, philosophy, archaeology or practically anything else, you should be well catered for. There will also be a shedload of novels and magazines.
The best part? Everything is priced between 50 cents and $5. That's cheaper than a few days of overdue fees at the public library. BYO bag.
The Spring Book Fair will run from 10am to 4pm on both days.
