The Angel's Game - Set in the turbulent 1920s, 'The Angel's Game' takes us back to the Barcelona of 'The Shadow of the Wind'. It is a spellbinding love story that delves into the darkest reaches of the human heart.
Up From The Mission - 'Up From The Mission' charts the life and thought of Noel Pearson, from his early days as a native title lawyer to his position today as one of Australia's most influential figures.
An era in Brisbane bookselling will come to an end in September, when our Milton store will close and relocate to The Barracks. We leave Park Road - our first location - with some regret, but with excitement about the future. Our store at The Barracks has been open for six months and we look forward to welcoming all our Milton regulars there. It’s only five minutes away, offers free parking and an Espresso Bar that serves fantastic coffee and yummy things to eat. And don't forget our Emporium store where, according to the Courier Mail Queensland Food & Wine Guide 2009, "service is friendly and efficient, and the coffee is great." Drop in and visit one of our stores, or contact us for more info. And find out more about the Barracks complex here.
