The Good Book Sale

Overview

If you had time to speed through your reading list over the Christmas break, you're one of the lucky ones — many Australians spent their holidays either fleeing the country's widespread bushfires or helping to contain them. One of the hardest hit areas is NSW's far south coast and, even though it's a fair whack from Sydney, literature lovers can still do their bit to help its local Rural Fire Service.

Next Wednesday, January 15, luxe Sydney linen label In Bed will hold an after-work book sale at its Oxford Street store — and all the proceeds on the night will go to the Far South Coast RFS. As well as a slew of secondhand books, local booksellers and publishers — including Ariel Booksellers, Penguin Random House, Bloomsbury and Pan Macmillan — donating new titles, too. Penguin classics, some Murakami, cook books and maybe even a Sally Rooney.

Book subscription service Well Read will also be on hand to make some reccommendations. And if you buy five or more books, you'll go into the draw to win some other donated goodies — like Holly Ryan jewellery and some of In Bed's own linen.

Some other goodies will be available to buy as well, including bookmarks, flowers and In Bed linen book bags. And you can peruse it all while sipping some natural wine courtesy of Drnks.

Wander down Oxford Street after work — the sale kicks off at 6pm. If you'd like to donate books for the sale, just drop them off at the store before January 15. And to give directly to the Far South Coast RFS — or any local brigade — go here.
