It's fun to just spend a couple of hours in the afternoon browsing the latest releases, especially design titles at bookshops. Hadn't been to the Published Art bookshop in Surry Hills for a while, so thought we'd pay it a visit. It's a smallish bookshop with bookshelves lining 2 walls with the book jackets rather than the spine on display. Then there's a table in the middle with more titles. Saw Graphics Alive, published by Victionary (http://www.victionary.com) in 2006. It featured examples of cool illustrative characters on clothing, cushions, bags etc. Lots of cool images. May have to get this book sometime.
Then later on in the afternoon, we walked along King St, stopping in at Better Read than Dead and Pentimento.
Other regular haunts include: Kinokuniya, Ariel, and occasionally the Architext bookshop (RAIA's headquarters) and the Building Bookshop.
