Progress shop front 'new' 257 King Street, Newtown

Lighting installed on the decking. How groovy does that look!

Painting & signwriting happening after Easter. (So beware of ladders and lots of green paint!)

Transport snafu caused 3 pallets of books to arrive all at once at Sydney shops:
Caused temporary staff panic, but now all sorted and the shelves are chockablock for the 5 day Easter – Anzac Day break.
Also doing some excellent second hand buying: Interesting stuff across the whole range.

Good Friday was HUGE in all non-city Elizabeth’s Bookshops
The Bank Manager and us pray it continues over the whole holiday break.

Big selling categories:
Children’s Books (1000′s of real cheapies now at the South Terrace Freo branch), Lit Fiction / General Fiction (obviously Easter holiday reading), Cookbooks, Military History (because of Anzac Day?)
