The Little Bookroom here in Naarm is a children's specialist bookshop, however they do stock adult books as well and you can order online, like this order, supporting some of the authors who have pulled out of the Adelaide writer's week.

Behind them is a brightly lit room full of books with a rainbow decal running along the top of the walls. On Michael's white tee is a picture of a human wheeling a cart full of books with the inscription "So many books so little time". Michael is smiling at the camera.
