A visit to Nowra wouldn't be complete without stopping in at Anne's Second Hand Book Shop
Dropped in for a bookseller chat with the owner, TJ, as well as his new puppetry hobby...

If you are passing through, drop in. Around 40 thousand books in store - so you are sure to find something amazing!!

(Forgot to grab a photo with TJ - went back and got pics of the outside of the shop.)

This was a nice little arrival this morning.
Only 5500 of these were produced eighty years ago. The "true first editions" were printed for the British Soldiers in the Rhine and contain dozens of maps and illustrations.

Recent stock moves have had an unintended consequence for us.

Crime Fiction is now in the same space as True Crime.

Which means this particular aisle contains an unusually high concentration of murder, robbery, detectives, serial killers and people making exceptionally poor life choices.

We’ve been calling it The Crime Corridor.

It’s not bad.

But before the name becomes permanent, we’re opening the floor to suggestions.

Can anyone come up with something better?

Alliteration encouraged. Terrible puns will also be considered.
