Yesterday my wife and I were exploring the Australian National University's campus. It was such an awesome day! I am one of this Uni alumni there harking back to 2008 and 2012. ANU is one of the most reputable research-driven unis in Australia. Anyway, I immensely enjoyed studying there.
I want to share with you some of the exquisite encounters during our stroll around the campus.
This is a new precincts of the ANU student union court, where we can see a new bookshop called "Harry Hartog". ANU used to have Co-op bookshop, but now it's got this new company, which is fantastic! The name looks like Harry Potter, but the interior also looks like that!
We can enormously appreciate the atmosphere. Let's check inside!
More than expected! Looks gorgeous!! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! Pardon me, a bit of overexaggeration. Let's explore the details here.
They are offering an astonishing range of merchandise! Great! Just wondering I wanted to grab a new foodie, and in the end, I decided not to, nonetheless.
There are heaps of nice and classy/or cosy couch both on upstairs and downstairs, which obviously makes us feel like 'we wanna stay here longer and at the same time grab a fab coffee with a quasi-academic book or something here'. As a consequence, we are goona feel like 'oh let's purchase the books we've been browsing, which are usually preordained to be piled up on my desk. Oh well, when it comes to the selection of books, I should always be supercareful of which books are gonna be worth perusing at home or cafe, despite the fact that I wanna try out all sorts of genre nowadays. To this end, once settled down pretty much everything I'd like to set a clear goal or objective in terms of my monthly reading schedule.
Illusion!!
Neat and tidy! Well-organised. As compared to other normal bookshops in Canberra, even across Australia, this bookshop's got really rare and classical books which basically you have never seen before such as the ones written over a century ago. Just putting those back to an orthodox bookshelf might appear to be looking elegant.
Let's have a bird's-eye view of this bookshop from upstairs! I am relatively acrophobia, mate.
Never mind.
Here you go. Such a fabulous antique typewriter! To be honest, I've never seen in my life, although I've just seen this kinda stuff in movies. Just wanna digress a little from this, but the grandiocity of chaotically arranged and idiosyncratically designed bookshelves or tables here is undubitably second to none.
Thanks for that! We had a wonferful bookshop tour!!
We'll definitely be back here again soon.
