I’ll say! But mainly because you can still enjoy our collection of great secondhand books on any day of the Easter long weekend – Chapter Two Books’ normal trading hours apply. Bunnys, bilbys and books – the only way to enjoy your time in the Adelaide Hills this Easter.

But we’re not that one-dimensional… get into our shop to snaffle a number of Booker prize winners (eg The Ghost Road (in fact, we have the entire Pat Barker Regeneration Trilogy), The English Patient, Paddy Clark Ha, Ha, Ha, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Schindler’s Ark, The Blind Assassin, Life of Pi etc.) or any number of other great titles.

Again, the Massive Book Sale at Norwood Town Hall was a smash hit, so it gives me goosebumps to know that hundreds (thousands??) of you went home grinning from all the brilliant, dead-set cheeeeaap bargains you snaffled. I think we had the balance about right – plenty of cool paperbacks, a broad smattering of old, out-of-print classics & some delightfully quirky and intriguing collector items. And guess what?? We’re doing it all again in a couple of months – except it’ll be bigger! ‘What??’ you say.. not possible?? June long weekend – 3 days; 12-13-14 June; more books; whoopeeee, BRING IT ON!!!!! Catch you in our cute little Adelaide Hills bookshop, or at our Massive Book Sale, it really doesn’t matter as long as you catch the Chapter Two bug – we’re addictive, sure, but you won’t regret the ride. Hugs & kisses, N&K.

Three Booker Prizes, three Miles Franklins and a Nobel Prize for literature between them. But today was the day they met Nick and Kate from Chapter Two Books at the Adelaide Writers’ Week festival… surely there’s a sub-plot in there somewhere!

Chapter Two Books & Michael Treloar Booksellers are again joining forces to bring you a really, really big room jam-packed with lots and lots and lots of second-hand books.

He was also very into his Alfa Romeo, so if you happen to own a Spider or Giulietta, pop into Chapter Two and we’ll get you sorted.

You still need to go to work tomorrow, the kids have their first day back at school and your need to de-stress will reach a crescendo at approximately 7:53pm. If you haven’t got a decent book to read, don’t panic because Chapter Two Books is open at our usual hours 10am-5pm on Australia Day. Come in and enjoy the store (Oi, oi, oi)!

The dust has settled after another hectic Christmas season and we’ve re-calibrated, if not recovered. So the burning question is… I want to have a relaxing jaunt through the Adelaide Hills, when can I pop into Chapter Two Books, that charming little bookshop in Stirling?? Well, the answer is… EVERY DAY!!! Our 2010 hours are: Mon-Fri 10am-5pm & Sat-Sun 10am-4pm. If this isn’t convenient for you (eg you are nocturnal or live on the other side of the planet) then please contact us, perhaps by email, so that we can chat and help you find the book you’ve always wanted.
