We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Summary
Details

"The book industry is changing at digital speed. This compendium of more than three hundred quotations reminds us that centuries of treasured tradition are threatened by our current obsessions with e-books and other gadgets.

""A room without books is a body without a soul."" —Cicero

""If you go into a room filled with books, even without taking them down from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, to welcome you."" —William Gladstone

""If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them. . . . Let them be your friends."" —Winston Churchill

""There's something special about people who are interested in the printed word. They are a species all their own-learned, kind, knowledgeable, and human."" —Nathan Pine, bookseller

""Books deserve more than digital gas.""—Bill Henderson, from the introduction"
