Bookish in Bendigo have pulled out as Bendigo Writers Festival's bookseller - this principled move comes at great cost to them as an independent store. If you've been thinking of purchasing a book (esp. one by someone who's also pulled labour from BWF), consider going to them! +61 3 5406 0596
I did a quick search, the Bendigo region have a virulent jewish mob connected to the likes of Rivchin and the lobby in Melbourne
Bookish is a really good independent bookshop. Gonna go buy a book or two this weekend.
Ooof, they would have ordered extra stock and extended themselves to prep for the festival. Thanks for highlighting this, will put in my order for one of the withdrawing festival artists books asap.
Good on them. I’m sure they were counting on that income, no small sacrifice.
Absolutely - there would have been a lot of stock ordered and events planned.
Plus the cost/admin of returns...
I just attempted to open their website, and I was met with a server misconfiguration error on Duckduckgo, and a flag and block on Opera for a possible malicious website. I don't know if this is relevant to them cancelling, but they may not be aware of it
I believe they don't currently have one - that's why I included their number :)
Thanks Ronni. That's OK then, I was just worried their site might be down when they might need it
Great idea. 👏👏
Wow! That is fantastic news about Bookish pulling out. And i will look to shop there too (i always go to Stoneman’s as a small local bookshop).
Bummer! They don’t have a web page - and I am a Meta-free-user.
That's why I included their number! :)
Ta!
