It's still on until, I think, 5ish, and then on again tomorrow at TSB Bank Arena, Wellington. $2 a book!!! A great thing to do on a rainy day. Or any day. Bliss.
Hi Mary, yes it was good, I was there at the end too on Sunday and they let me fill a bag of poetry books for $5.00 so I ended up with over a 100 books for the Archive. The best thing I got was The Essential John Arlott, 40 years of cricket writer and poet Arlott's cricket writing. Also Bethell's Collected Poems, 1950 Caxton Press edition. I see my anthology (with Tim Jones): "Voyagers" spine in your photo. Nice to know someone bought it.
I remember the book the runaway settlers I recognise the cover From my childhood..but I cant remember the story..I was obsessed with Laura Ingalls wilder at the time..its lovely seeing the picture again
Good haul Mary! I'm particularly impressed with you getting Dear Lady Ginger for $2. I had to buy mine over the net.
