Astronomy
New Zealand is rightly famous for its night skies and the great opportunities for star gazing. And whether you are a total beginner with a budding interest in the stars or a keen amateur or a dedicated astronomer, you can always benefit from a good book to help with what to look for.
Why not get a copy of this book:
Stars of the Southern Skies: An Observer's Guide for New Zealand
by Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore describes and plots the stars in the four seasons (because there are differences apparently). He also examines the history of astronomy and looks into such things as cosmic debris, telescopes, and even the chance of life somewhere else in the universe.
Get a copy now and join all the others gazing in wonder at our lovely night skies.
Spring
Best to get yourself in the mood by perusing a few of the myriad gardening books on offer. Why not pop into the shop and pick up a couple to get you ready for all the excitement (and hard work) to come. There's no better way to decide what to plant where or how to landscape than by reading a book. And whether you want advice or inspiration or whether you're a seasoned expert or a complete first-timer, books will provide the information you need.
Mini Penguins
They're so small you can put them just about anywhere: stuff a couple in your handbag; put one in your pocket; cram several in your backpack; take a handful in your luggage; fit one into your document folder when travelling; keep one in your wallet; shove a few in your gym bag; be inventive.
You can whip one out and read it on the bus, on the train, on a plane, in a car, at morning teatime, during lunch break, at the doctor's or dentist's; while waiting for a tardy date; in a bar; before a rugby game; at the park; in the playground; again, be inventive.
Come in and buy a few or a lot. They're not only small, they are cheap. How can you resist?
Irvine Welsh
Sad news. Irvine Welsh has had to cancel his trip and will not be speaking in Dunedin. Very disappointing for his many fans.
However, there is some good news. You can still pop into the shop and get yourself copies of his books. We have available:
Filth
Porno
Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs
Glue
If You Like School, You'll Love Work
Marabou Stork Nightmares
Ecstasy
and more....................................
To all job applicants
We tried to contact all unsuccessful applicants by email but for several of you, we did not have an email address (our fault - we completely forget to ask for it on the form). If you have heard nothing from us, then we are sorry to inform you that you have not been successful on this occasion.
However, we would like to thank you for the care, attention and effort you clearly put into your application. We will be keeping your details on file for the present in case the interviews do not result in our hiring anyone. In that unlikely event, we might contact you.
You are most welcome to re-apply if / when we advertise another position in the future.
Best of luck with your job search. And thanks again for your interest and your time.
