Merry Xmas Everyone!

Everyone at Chapter Two Books would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Xmas & a safe New Year. We will be closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Year's Day, but open and festive every other day. A special hello to all our interstate and overseas visitors - if you're visiting Adelaide, or the Adelaide Hills in particular, come into Stirling and explore our little gem of a bookshop.
Have fun everyone!
Nick & Kate

No pressure, but...

You know how we've mentioned that we've had some pretty cool stuff come in recently? And, remember when we decided to have the shop open a bit longer? Well, the result is that lots of people have been walking out of Chapter Two Books with big grins on their faces! But don't panic (yet), because there are loads of fascinating, unique, quirky and brilliant gift ideas still available to please those hard-to-please recipients. Do yourself a favour and do your Christmas shopping in the Adelaide Hills (you won't find lightning bolts of originality appearing before you at Westfield).

Art? Chapter Two Books. Nuff said.

The arts are as loved in the Adelaide Hills as they are anywhere in the world - of this, we have no doubt. We have recently bought a couple of collections and have expanded our collection significantly. Charles Blackman, Tom Roberts, Kenneth Jack, Hans Heysen and Norman Lindsay feature prominently but it's not just the Australians that have us salivating: Delacroix, Renoir, Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Degas, Rembrandt, etc, etc. Aside from the books (which are numerous and wonderful) we have some great Toulouse-Lautrec & Michelangelo prints. You know how there's always someone who's particularly difficult to buy for at Christmas?? Not this year - come in and take a look.

Christmas catalogue out now!

Stuck for a present idea? We've just printed a catalogue which will help to relieve the stress - it gives a brief overview of what you might expect in-store & lists a few of our more collectible (delectable?) items. To get your hands on a copy, send us an email using chaptertwo@adam.com.au or phone (08) 8339 1835 and let us know your postal address. Obviously the best way is to pop in to the shop in Stirling and see for yourself! See you soon.

Got a soft spot for the ladies?

Not our usual style but we have recently been inundated with Maeve Binchy, Joanna Trollope, Rosamund Pilcher and Mary Higgins Clark - yes the female authors are out in force! Having said that, I don't think there are too many Jonathan Kellermans that we don't have either! Come in and grab a bargain - if we don't have the title you're after in these authors, maybe it's time for a change!
