While exploring Tasmania for a week in a rented campervan we stumbled on this little used book shop near Friendly Beaches. It turned out to have an absolutely fantastic collection of old books.
The shop was just off the side of the road in a what looked like an old converted church on the outskirts of a town about 4 blocks long.
It was a great find and we spent at least an hour browsing around. It had a good selection of modern books, but had an even better collection of older, obscure, random books. It was the kind of place where, had we been just visiting Tasmania, and flying home afterwards, we would have probably picked up a dozen or more books just to have on our shelves back home.
As it was we picked up a great book of adventure stories of WWI fighter pilots, which we read aloud to each other for the next few days.
Here were just a few of the books we would have bought based on cover or titles alone.

God’s Honest Truth: I had no interest in traveling the world until I read this post.
It was “The Case of the Bigamous Spouse” that did it… am I right?
