Graeme and Anne will be pouring champagne and signing books at Ladyhawke Bookshop, Ivanhoe (Melbourne). Come and share a drink and support a new bookshop run by the editor of The Rosie Project and The Glass House.
The Great Australian Bookshop tour:
Graeme and Anne were on the road from March to August 2024, aiming to visit every bookshop in Australia. They got to most of them – 400 in all. The tour has its own website, which will soon be consolidated with this one.
