'But what', I said to myself, 'would be open at that time of night, that would interest me?' Not much. But then, Eureka!
Gould's Bookshop in Newtown! To those who don't know, Gould's is a gigantic, grubby old shop, with piles and piles of old books, and the odd cat sitting here and there. And it stays open late.So tonight I will drive over there, and just browse through all the unordered, manky looking old books and comics for a couple of hours. Few things are as pleasurable to me as this. And coupled with the take away coffee that I will sneak in there? Bliss.
Mental note- take little bottle of hand washing disinfectant for afterwards.

I love Gould books. So much. It is the highlight of any trip to Sydney.
Forget bottles of disinfectant - get the antiseptic 'wet ones'. Also useful for the handles of shopping trolleys in 'flu season.
Now that's my kind of store!!! We have a similar bookstore here called half-price books...all are half the original price or less...I've spent full days in that store. Nirvana.
After all that, I forgot my disinfectant, and finished up touching my eye with book-finger. It got red and sore.
But did you find any treasures?
one. just posted about it.
