eBooks have arrived at New Edition!
Stuck in a queue and wish you had a good read in your pocket? Packing for a holiday and having to choose between the new Murakami and the favorite t-shirt? Want to cut down on paper but not cut down on reading?
The problem solver might be our new
eBook shop. You can download the free Apps to your iPhone, iPad or any number of clever machines and carry all the reading you want without the bulk.
We're partnering with
ReadCloud to bring you another choice in how you read.
Our online shop is now open!
While we can't bring the whole bookshop to you, we can now
bring you the books. If you live more than a leisurely stroll away (let's say... Geraldton?) browsing our unique range is a whole lot easier this way.
To keep it simple, postage is $9.00 per order anywhere in Australia; take the parking or train fare costs away and it's quite an attractive proposition.
Sorry, we're keeping the chairs and The Grumpy Sailor Cafe isn't doing house calls just yet!

LINE OF SIGHT
- the new novel from author David Whish-Wilson.
When a brothel madam is shot on a Perth golf course in 1975 it should be a routine murder enquiry. But it isn't. In fact there's barely an investigation at all, and Superintendent Swann thinks he knows why. Heroin is the new drug in town and the money is finding its way into some very respectable hands.
It's the brave or the foolish who accuse their fellow cops of corruption, and sometimes not even Swann is sure which he is. Especially when those he's pointing the finger at have mates in every stronghold of power in the state – big business, organised crime, the government. He might have won the first round by forcing a royal commission, but the judge is an ailing patsy and the outcome seems predetermined. If that's not enough to contend with, Swann's teenage daughter has disappeared, he doesn't know whether she's alive or not, and the word on the street is he's a dead man walking.
Line of Sight is classic crime noir, a tale of dark corruption set in a city of sun and heat. $29.95
