1 May

We started the day at Collins Mt Gambier where we heard about a new shop not our list! Next stop – several hours later was at said new shop in Keith, where we got a very warm welcome at Beyond Words. Next stop an old favourite (lots of great events in the past) at Matilda’s in Stirling and then checked out the airy new premises of Shakespeares Books on Blackwood. Just enough time for QBD Marion (Adelaide traffic heavier than it used to be!) before getting ready for the Books’n’Bars with Dymocks at the Howling – royalties in SA going to Villagehood who will also be there.
