Go there one weekend and take a whole afternoon, go to the cinema in the Elsternwick shopping area. They sometimes show niche-interest Jewish films there, which is always fun. <BR/><BR/>These blogs have ears, by the way - I mentioned Sybers sometime ago and he mailed me afterwards correcting me on a few points. <I>Be careful what you say!</I><BR/><BR/>Red, love to, though I'm not sure if I really would be that good (a sensible buyer probably would have gone straight to Sybers first off, and not the expensive G___ Bookstore in Prahran.)TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-88571369978272553932008-08-17T19:25:00.000+10:002008-08-17T19:25:00.000+10:00Wow... wanna be my personal book shopper?!?Oh, and...Wow... wanna be my personal book shopper?!?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I totally relate to feeling too guilty about making a shop assistant, you know, actually DO HIS JOB. So I also end up usually buying something else. Or even the thing that I can't afford.<BR/><BR/>So my bank account (which is even more alarmingly red than my hair...) NEEDS your savvy shopperness.
