As someone who rarely stops reading, I love any chance to get my hands on a whole lot of books without needing to spend much. If you live in Brisbane, you'll get such an opportunity soon, when the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre hosts the Lifeline Bookfest.



The event will take place from Saturday January 17 to Monday January 26, with more secondhand books on offer than you'll find at any other event in the world. So many, in fact, that they need to be divided into three different sections, based on the price (and condition). Many of the books cost as little as $1.00 or $2.00.

Within each section the books will be further divided into over 20 categories. These include children's books, history, fiction (hardback and paperback), travel, sport, cooking, Australiana and more.

The Brisbane Bookfest is the first of Lifeline's annual bookfests. Entry costs nothing and it can be reached by train, bus or car (with parking available under the centre)

The next bookfest has been scheduled to take place in Bundaberg in March. If you can't reach either, you can get your hands on books from Lifeline at any time of the year from over 40 shops around Brisbane (find a list here ).
