Ha, I wonder ... I haven't been there since Mt Buffalo was a calf. The
Chinese way would have it as Second Floor, but I think it would be First
Floor. (Until recently I lived on the other side of the nation. Perth's
best poetry bookshops are Planet in Mt Lawley, and CROW Books in Easy
Victoria Park.)
I really like supporting indie bookshops. rather than online shopping - but
sometimes there are no alternatives.
