  5. Yep, the two lower floors in the building are for new books and a coffee shop, but my favourite is the top floor. However, I am a bit wobbly to use the ladders. I found just the book I was looking for last evening. On ebay it was $84 but in Berkelouw's it was $22.50. And in good nick ... really chuffed I am.

  6. Thank you for your comment at my blog.

    It is not a spatula, it is a cheese slicer (no= ostehøvel).
    We use it on our brown cheese for cutting it in thin slices!

  8. I would like to walk right into this photo... it's visually pulling. And a great monochrome. I can learn so much about good photography just from looking at your shots, Julie.

  12. ooo I always feel at home in a bookshop. This is such a lovely shot.

    I have only been to Berkelouw's in the city once. but whenever we are down the southern highlands we visit the book barn near Berrima.

    There used to be a great 2nd hand bookshop in Crows Nest that tidied itself up but was still nice ... I wonder if it is still there.

  13. Tyrrells ... Well when I google I find it is not called Tyrrells at all. That is just the building it is in. You can find it here
