Home PageWelcome to the home page of one of Australia's largest retailers of remaindered books.A book is "remaindered" when its publisher judges that its sales velocity has slowed to a point where it is no longer viable to keep the book in stock, and sells it off to the likes of us. We scour the globe for remainders, and then list them in our catalogues, which we print and mail every four weeks. If you would like to receive our printed catalogues, please Email Us your name and address. At any time we have two "live" catalogues, and the books in each are different. These are now on this web page, which you can browse by clicking on "SHOPPING" above. If you prefer, you can read or print out the catalogues or just those categories you want. Just click Print Catalogue for this service. We offer an email alert service whereby we send you an email whenever a new catalogue is posted on our web site. If you would like to receive an email alert, please Email Us. The mailed version of our catalogue always has a chatty introduction, which is reproduced here for our most recent catalogue - September 2008. During the life of this catalogue Sally and Tom will be away for a week in London, buying books at the September Remainder and Promotional Book Fair, held at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The wholesalers from America and Canada fly in and the UK dealers have their showrooms set up for visitors during the week before the fair starts. It is a very busy time. On their last trip to London the travellers went out for a bit of culture one evening. One of the pair, who shall be nameless, fell asleep during The Magic Flute. They might not try culture this time. Other absences this month - Louise is off to Perth for a special birthday celebration and Rod will have a week off starting right at the end of September. Great reading from this catalogue includes No. 50, Arthur Boyd: Art and Life; No. 71, The Great Tibetan Stonewall of China: The Status of Tibet in International Law and International Policy; No. 90, Mel Gibson: Man on a Mission; No. 217, Wicked Poems; No. 474, Jane Austen and the Navy; No 498, The People's King: The True Story of the Abdication; and No. 683, McPherson's Rant and Other Tales of the Scottish Fiddle. Our next sales will be in October. (For more details see Truck Sales ). |
