Trades Hall last night was fantastic...a mix of people from publishing, bookshops, the council, the SLV my friends of course, and the team that put the book together...drinks, a couple of speeches (the lovely Alan Brough was funny and very Melbourne) and lots of talk about the book and Melbourne. One thing that came out in the speeches and the many people I talked to and signed books for was that this book serves to spark memories and reflections on the reader's own personal Melbourne - what they've seen and done here, what art, books and movies have captured their city best - which is exactly what I wanted it to do.
The State Library - who are co-publishers - are talking about the book on their Facebook page and will have a couple of signed copies to give away....
if you were there last night, thanks! and if you weren't, well get thee to a bookshop and have a look at the book!
