Think back to primary school winter wash outs. It's pouring outside, your polar fleece track pants smell of damp and playing poison ball on the basketball court is off. You resort to spending your lunchtime within the comforting confines of the library.
Walking into Brunswick Bound on a rainy day is like finding solace on a winter wash out with the cosiness and friendly face of the store providing instantaneous relief from the bitter wind outside. There are a few points of difference from the average primary school library, however. Instead of the entire back catalogue of Grug, the works of Henry Miller and Bukowski line the shelves. A healthy collection of visual culture books, Hidden Track La Cambre Model(s) take the place of art-and-craft handbooks and the upstairs gallery space exhibiting Tom Civil's drawings and woodcuts substitutes the grade two diorama display.
The collection of magazines can't compare to the collection of TV Hits for the grade six-ers as air freight editions of Eyemazing and Monacle are at hand. Be sure to see their copy of We Love Magazines, too.
Brunswick Bound, with its inviting couches and hardcover treats, is like a motherly embrace on a winter's day.
