Book Towns

[ibishop]

Wondering if anyone else here is lucky enough to live near one of the officially recognised "Book Towns"?

I'm lucky enough to be 35km south of Australia's only Book Town, which is in Clunes, Victoria ... nothing quite like heading out for a quiet Saturday afternoon looking through thousands of old books, in a heritage-listed town.

I know there are other towns which have been recognised around the globe, so wondering if anyone else has their own experience (which, to my mind, enhances the beauty that books bring to a life)?

Cheers,

Ian

Interesting! first time I've heard about this, thanks for posting..

Stillwater, Minnesota is apparently the closet one to me, but I have never visited there before.

[suzy1124]

I'll google to see where mine is...curious!

[rssllue]

It is quite the interesting concept to say the least. One day I may be Bookman living in Booktown!

[suzy1124]

I'M SHOCKED THAT I was unaware of this...

[rssllue]

Of Book Towns or that I secretly always had a desire to be called Bookman?

[suzy1124]

BOTH!...CONGRATS! you're coming up in the world, job well done..

[rssllue]

Thank you kindly! I have been waiting patiently for quite some time.

I DOUBT IT!, I don't see you as the " patient " type...like an apparition, you came from " nowhere " and now you're in the running
BRAVO!

[rssllue]

In a doctor'r office everyone there always refers to me as patient.

[suzy1124]

IS that so? awesome!

[rssllue]

Yep. Every time. So it must be true!

[suzy1124]

Sin duda!

Duda made me think of Camptown Races for some reason.
