 KR> so this morning i visited the only place worth going to there - the

 KR> technical bookshop in swanson st..



 RM> What, isn't the Minotaur f&sf shop running any more???? 



 KR> sounds like one of those little places in st kilda that sell rubbery

 KR> things that buzz.



(sounds like my cooking, actually)



Way back when, there were 3 bookshops in Swanston St. The tech

bookshop, the Space Age bookshop (sf), and the Minotaur (fantasy

and games). Next time I visited, Space Age had been eaten by

Minotaur, which became sf and f. The next time again, about 3 years

ago, Minotaur had moved twice (took hours to find), and by then

occupied 3 floors. The top floor was straight sf. I spent about 4

hours there, and needed a carton to carry off what I'd bought. Pigs

in mud couldn't match my bliss.



I don't know Sydney at all. Is there a similar place?



cheers
