ebooks and bookshops

This photograph shows part of the window of the Hill of Content Bookshop in Balmain.  It is a lovely bookshop and this photograph does not do the shop justice, but that was not the purpose of the photograph.

I was really interested that this bookshop was advertising Kobo readers for sale in the shop.  It was an interesting tie in, and one of the few times I have seen ebooks and print books sold side by side in this way.

Outpost at Cocktoo Island

By Roa
This is by ROA - it is one of the amazing art works on exhibition at Outpost at Cocktoo Island (although the art works painted on the buildings like this one may be around for longer).

I took a few more photographs and you can see them in the slideshow

Museum Shop - Museo Nacional de Athropologie, Mexico

The shop at the Museo Nacional de Athropologie, Mexico was a later addition to this museum. It was a smart and attractive addition as it was designed in a way to look great in the museum, but in a more modern style of design. It looked good, and you knew it was a later element and this worked very well.
