Australian new releases dominate our bestsellers this week. Number one position goes to Richard Flanagan’s The Living Sea of Waking Dreams, a book described by our managing director as his ‘most audacious, most accomplished work yet’. Following on the heels of Flanagan are Trent Dalton’s WW2 adventure, beloved crime author Jane Harper’s fourth novel, and Craig Silvey’s long-awaited third novel.

A shout-out to two interesting and notable bestsellers this week. The revised edition of Charles Massy’s Call of the Reed Warbler is finding fresh readers with its clear and timely vision of a sustainable future for our food supply, our landscape, our health and our Earth, and Warren Kirk’s photographic homage to Melbourne’s norther suburbs, Northside: A time and place, reminds us why we love this city.
