*reads entry and subsequent comments*
*retrieves bush dance photo of three of us*
*eyebrows raise themselves*
*whistles softly under breath*

And wow.... fifty percent...! Just about any time a bookstore has a sale is a dangerous time to be in the vicinity..... =P

yeah... its sitting about half an inch below my shoulders at the longest bit... 'sgoing to take some getting used to.

fifty % indeed... (Cornstalk is a trendy-style second hand bookshop, meaning they're in decent condition but overpriced... but with 50% off...)

it'll probably still be on sale on saturday :P just two minutes walk up king street...

Hmm... am having very dangerous thoughts.... and I have money, too.... and I am suffering from a deficiency/abysmal lack of books for Fiji, so..... *eyebrows raised in interest, not surprise* =D

Much in the way of Pratchetts?

um... i think there were some.

i can take you to Goulds, too, if you like. that is A Dangerous Place Indeed. Ground floor about the size of two tennis courts, mezzanine above, and everything so jam packed with books that you'd have trouble getting a fat man through.

only problem is that in Goulds, as in Fisher Library, oxygen seems to have been forsaken for Pure Distilled Essence of Old Book, and after twenty minutes or so i start getting interestingly light in the head.

*is very glad I didn't spend $10 on used pristine copy of Michael Crichton's latest (State of Fear)... although, granted, the book retails normally for $30, but still....*

You would like to know, wouldn't you? =P

To tell the truth, though, the answer as to how isn't really that interesting or mystifying.

you guessed?

come on... i resent the notion that the only sale i get exited about is a book sale... clothing sales are equally dangerous. STATIONERY sales are terrible.

and when a man and his computer love each other very much then they come together and form a web site which is indexed by Google

so anyways after the exchange of mutual vows upload/download bandwidth a website is born and there is much rejoicing and all the relatives go to visit and ooh and ahh over the marquee text and flashing colours.
