Melbourne Rare Book Week Day 2. There were five amazing talks on today

I was able to attend three today. The day started with free Rare Book Appraisals by three experts. People brought along their books and prints to be appraised, find out about them and get a value.

There were already a few people gathered when I arrived and a steady stream of people came in during the time I was there. I overheard some interested snippets of conversation!

A quick tram ride across town to Armadale Cellars to hear Michael Hince talk on wine publishing in Australia, An entertaining talk, in the cellars surrounded  by wine, What else could I sketch!

In the evening Susannah Fullerton and Chris Browne presented on the literary greats who visited Australia what they observed.  thoughts of Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson were some of the readings given. 

What a day !
