When I lived in the middle of the Northern Territory, trips to Adelaide would include a trip to a proper bookshop. And it was Imprints in Hindley Street. Now I never ever did get to the back wall of Imprints. I'd get about six feet in the door and would be well over budget. Talk about smack for addicts! Now Imprints sell new books. I'm only slightly better in among used books. So here is one of my favourite second hand book shops. It is in Flinders Street up from Degraves Street.
Over in the Degraves Street tunnel from Flinders St Station, the owner of this bookshop died.
Inside the window, relatives have placed tags with prices of the books.
Outside the window, people have posted messages of appreciation.

I love the 2nd handbookshop in Elizabeth street near Flinders lane... It is tucked away in the corner behind a coffee vendor and down some stairs... I am not sure what it is called but it is great... I can wander in it for ages... You sound like my kind of person miss eagle... I love books and working in a bookstore makes it worse... Even on my day off I browse in bookshops and I am always at the library...
And Miss Sharon I used to be a librarian quite a while ago. I've always wanted to work in a bookshop, though.
