Well Mountains of Books is over for the year and a good time was had by (mostly) all. Sadly I have to report a very poor weekend for cookbooks, but there was a very good attendance thanks to some great publicity in The Age on the weekend, and most stallholders did well. My family did, as always, an amazing job of supporting me in my various hare-brained pursuits. Hayley and Pip personned the canteen on Saturday, Ryan on Sunday, Hayley sat in the shop for me on Sunday and David acted as general dogsbody. Ryan also acted as photographer ( in between directing traffic in the car park - yes it did get that busy) Even my dear friend Dee helped pack books on Thursday for the fair and then to pack (almost all of them) back into boxes again at the end. Here's a few photos:

Jill's children's books are always a huge drawcard.
Over 60 people came in as the doors opened. Attendance was pretty steady on both days .

Yes my stall did have some customers during the weekend, most of them regulars.
Paul Trahair's stall was well-attended for his 50% off - 'Moving to Geelong and need to cull ' sale.
Jill's children's books are always a huge drawcard.
