I've just spent a relaxing weekend in the City with my wife. Although 'relaxing' probably isn't the most appropriate word to use considering we rarely sat down. We spent one night with some friends, visited the optical illusions ArtVo, walked around the City, ate at some great restaurants and attended the closing night of the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Yesterday (Sunday) we visited the Dymocks store on Collins Street. There were plenty of Bond novels on the shelves although no copies of the "Casino Royale" that cross promotes the new Bond novel by Anthony Horowitz "Forever And A Day". I'll have to keep my eyes open closer to the release date. It was also good to see some major work being done on improving the store.
We also visited City Basement Books. They had a Cape hardback version of Gardner's "For Special Sevices" and a paperback Faulk's "Devil May Care".
Finally, here's a couple more snaps of Melbourne...
Etihad Stadium in the Docklands
The Yarra looking toward the lights of the MCG (an AFL game was in progress)
The Town Hall clocktower from our hotel window
Looking toward Bolte Bridge, again in the Docklands
On Saturday we visited the Astor Movie Market where I saw a few nice Bond items for sale, although I didn't purchase anything.
