Hey, Chapter Two… what’s happening?

ART! ART! ART!
We have expanded our art section to accommodate a couple of collections bought recently. We know how much Adelaide Hills residents love your art - see our Recent Acquisitions page for more details.
New Fire Season Policy
In light of new Fire Danger ratings, we are implementing a new policy for Chapter Two Books: we will be closing the bookshop on days when the predicted rating is set at ‘Extreme’ or ‘Catastrophic’. We are not anticipating this will occur very often (remember, this is not a heat issue - there are other factors that affect these ratings), but we hope you understand when these conditions do occur, it is advised that people not put themselves in high-risk areas. Send an email or have a chat with us if you would like more info about this policy (or check out the article on Pg 3 of The Courier click here). For further info about the new ratings, go to www.cfs.sa.gov.au. Take care. Nick & Kate.
Recent Acquisitions
We’ve bought a couple of large collections recently and unearthed a number of gems - keep an eye on our Recent Acquisitions page for more info…
Attention Blogaholics
To make it a bit easier to chinwag about booky things, we’ve set up a blog page at chaptertwobooks.blogspot.com which we hope will encourage all sorts of interesting discussion, or at least be an easy way for us to update you about the little things that happen from time to time.
THANKYOU!!
Thanks to the hundreds of book fans who crammed into Norwood Town Hall on Nov 7-8 for our Massive Book Sale. Stay tuned - we really enjoyed the vibe and, come the New Year, I’m sure we’ll have accumulated some more great bargains!
