NAME:

The Grumpy Sailor

The good news is that The Grumpy Sailor will be joining us in Northbridge; the only bad news is that it can't happen soon enough for us! We're hoping to welcome them to William Street in February and will keep you posted.

NEW EDITION IS REDUCING ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT AND WILL BE PHASING OUT CARRY BAGS IN 2012, PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR OWN BAG

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.

Christmas Postal Orders

We're at that time of year when the calendar seems to speed up so if you're planning to order a book from us that we'll need to post, please (and again) please order it soon!

We're processing orders as fast as we can, but once it goes to the Post Office... well, you know how busy they are right now. As speedy as those little red bikes are, they can't guarantee delivery times in their usual 1-5 days.

Even if you ring an order through or place one on our Online Shop on the 15th of December, you may need advanced finger-crossing skills.

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.

Over the next few days we'll be loading our entire inventory into the online shop and by 6 December everything will be at your fingertips. Even now, there are an awful lot of books there! In fact, you can even pre-order books that we've got on the 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!

The Summer Reading Guide

This season's guide to the best books on offer, chosen by Australia's leading independent booksellers. There are hundreds of titles as well as great prizes to be had. Pick up a copy in-store.

You can always download an order form, fill it out, save it and eMail it in to us.

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
