Signs - Blind date with a book

For other signs from around the world please check Tom's blog.

Photos taken in Fremantle of the shop window of Elizabeth's bookshop - a second hand bookshop with 4 branches across Australia with over 400 thousand books in stock. After you read your books they will buy them from you :).

  1. YES! My first blind date was with a book! (My only, too) - in Madely, Kingsway Shopping Centre - must´ve come from there, thank you, now I know (sadly it was about how to recycle. Reckon we´re a master in this, I re-wrapped it and gave it back.... - it had hearts on the wrapping paper back then).
    Oh, I hope our TU-phone booth is open - I have so many books to give away! And... post to come. I found so much on the street again!
    Great signs, I love the thought - and join - in giving away for free.
    Dangerous store, that. Do you remember Graff? Same... They are open again, huhhhh....

    1. I follow the author of that book on instagram, I just don't do it all.
      I have a "low tox life" book, also about changing things at home, body products, etc
      Thanks Iris :)

  3. My favourite book shop Sami. I've often been tempted to buy one of those parcels wrapped in brown paper 😉

    1. Thanks Grace. A bit of a mystery, I do wonder if I would be buying something I would enjoy reading :)

  4. A blind date with a book seems to hold the promise of success at a far higher level than with a person. Seems like a great idea, and I am quite sure I could invest some serious time wandering around the store.

    1. It's the type of store I enjoy visiting too David. Never enough time to read all the books I would like to read :)
