Man Booker International Prize

Alice Munro has been annouced as the winner of the 2009 Man Booker International Prize. Unlike the Man Booker prize for fiction, the International award recognises the talent and achievement of one particular writer overall rather than the excellence of a specific novel.

Alien Invasion Survival Handbook

We have just recieved copies of the Alien Invasion Survival Handbook by W.H. Mumfrey (pseudonym for local Tasmanian author and customer).

What's more, they're signed!

You can find more internet based information on his MySpace page and on Amazon.

It's that time again..

I have little to blog about, and so therefore I figured the only answer was to talk about ourselves for a bit. Many of you would have attended the Ellison Hawker Bookshop quiz night held at the beginning of this month, and while we had a few quirks in the system, it all seemed to go relatively well.

Naturally we're extending our much appreciated thank-you's to those who helped us out- Murdoch Books, Capricorn Link, Pan Macmillan, Penguin Books and Pembroke Wine. It was many kinds of AWESOME.

Other excitements are the new shipment of exciting Last Gasp stock, including but not limited to the 'Hello Maggot' range of stuffed toys and Mark Ryden's Tree Show postcards.


On a side note..



YAY.
