After a packed-out event at our St Kilda shop, Australian music legend Robert Forster is our bestselling author of last week. Our reviewer writes: ‘As a survey of a sui generis career, as a glimpse into the formation and working methods of a superlative songwriter, and as an ultimately poignant chronicle of a friendship, Grant and I weaves a memorable story with wit, art and heart. Not unlike a Go-Betweens song.’

Last week also saw the release of a new novel from bestselling Melbourne author Graeme Simsion (The Best of Adam Sharp), the 2017 edition of ‘Australia’s most prestigious restaurant bible’ (The Age Good Food Guide 2017), and forester Peter Wohlleben’s fascinating, groundbreaking study of trees (The Hidden Life of Trees). All three appear on our bestsellers list.
