There are three book shops in Mornington. Farrell's Bookshop, an independent general book store selling new books, and two secondhand book stores; Chapter House Books and Books By The Bay.
Last time we visited Chapter House Books there was a sign on the front window that read "Business For Sale". On this visit I was pleased to see the sign gone and the store full of customers. As always the store was well stocked and neatly organised but sadly no books for me.
Next we visited Books By The Bay but again it was closed. We always seem to pick the wrong day to drop by.
For lunch we drove to Hastings where we stopped by a busy op-shop. They had a couple of Bond related titles too.
Then we called by the Tyabb Packing House Antiques. Unfortunately it turns out the entire book section has gone. They used to have a designated section just for Bond titles but alas no more.
On our return trip to suburbia we stopped at a large Vinnies op-shop in Moorabbin I'd read about on-line. And as the review had promised the place was huge and there were heaps of books. I found a few Bond adventures but no luck as I had them all. Still, I will return with fingers crossed next time.
No new additions to my collection from this book hunt, however the beach we visited on the Mornington Peninsula was too nice not to include a few pics here...
