Fri 16 Oct 2015 - Sat 17 Oct 2015
There is nothing like the feel and smell of a
real book, especially one 50 or 100 years old. Not only does a book tell a story, the book is a story in itself. What was happening at the time of its first printing, who has owned it, how did it get to you intact?
Book Bazaar has many
old/collectables at
half price during its two-day October Extended Hours Sale.
Two great specials for two days only
Book Bazaar has
TWO great specials for
TWO days only.
Friday, October 16 from
9.00am to
7.00pm and
Saturday, October 17 from
9.00am to
5.00pm.
Please note these specials are ONLY available at the above times.
Old/Collectable books at half price
The old/collectables is a section to really get your teeth into. This is your chance to pick up many valuable books and what may be otherwise unremarkable books, which are old, maybe, printed 50 to 100 years ago. The covers pictured above are an example of these unique books and may not be available; but you never know, if you are quick.
Also $15 per bag for all other books
Fill the bag with books (excluding old/collectables) for
$15.00 and with free parking, why not fill your boot with several. With the immense choice available, stopping at one bag might not be possible. Grab a bag of books for the children, no batteries needed. A book does not run out until they close it or their eyes.
A word to the wise
With
several thousand books donated by the
State Library of Western Australia each week, the choice is almost endless at
Book Bazaar. However, if you spot that treasure, grab it. This unique bookshop has
no rain checks or
sourcing an extra copy from the supplier.
This is a
massive bookshop with over
100,000 books on display at any one time. While the sections and categories are clearly marked, hidden treasures abound. The digging begins as you flip through the books in the hope of uncovering unavailable or out of print editions as well as current titles.
Indulge in a treasure hunt and pick up books you might not normally buy or find elsewhere. How often have you wanted to take home a bundle of books from bookshops, but they were just too expensive? Well know is your chance.
The casual, avid reader or serious collector is bound to find something with their name on it. Whether it is to fill a bag of books, search out that rare, collectable or elusive out of print edition.
Where else could you find so many quality books and multitude of titles (perhaps a few hidden unique treasures)? You do not need to imagine what lies in the vaults of the State Library, just pop into
Book Bazaar.
Thousands of books are delivered each week
The State Library's operations fall into three main areas – collecting and preserving Western Australia's documentary heritage, general reference and public lending library services, and supporting the public library network in Western Australia.
Just imagine the diversity of good quality and unique books that a bookshop bound by commercial considerations would find hard to match. Simply because you never know what you may find, perfect for the eclectic reader. Yes, you will even find a dictionary or two.
Normal trading hour's specials
Book Bazaar also has a couple of
specials for October during
normal business hours,
Monday to
Friday from
8:30am to
3:30pm. Fill a box with adult fiction for
$15.00 (includes Sci-Fi and Westerns) or fill a box with Children's/Teen/Junior/Young Adult fiction for
$15.00
Friendly volunteers to assist you
Volunteers who assist the Book Bazaar Supervisor,
Elke Schaumann staff the sales. If you become overwhelmed with the number of books and need help, just ask. There is a double bonus shopping at
Book Bazaar; as you find the book (or books) of your choice, you help disabled persons.
Want to volunteer to help? Email:
[email protected] or call 9381 0193.
For your convenience
The urge to flip through the sheer number of books, in anticipation of what may turn up can become addictive, so free parking and public toilets are a bonus. Don't rush off, you are encouraged to stay and browse.
Look out for the banners
When you get to 10 Selby Street, Shenton Park, turn off into a little (privately owned, by Spine & Limb Foundation) road called Ellis Griffiths Avenue. The
Industries&output=classic&dg=ntvb ParaQuad building is about 300m along Ellis Griffiths Avenue.
Large banners placed out on Selby Street for a week before the event ensure even the casual driver will not miss the turn off.
