Well
here we are 2016, and it's time for the annual Clunes Booktown
Festival. This years motto/slogan is “Journeys through time &
place”. …obviously not Huc & Gabet time and not Huc &
Gabet place, as once again the festival organizers have chosen to
keep this bookseller out of all of their festival literature both on
line and in print. Yep, once again this bookseller and his business
are out of the programme*. Nothing on line and nothing in print
about The Huc & Gabet Bookotorium, it's as if I don't exist. I
am a little dissapointed.
Well I
do exist and I am here and I will be open over the booktown weekend
despite not existing on any map and there being no indication that I
am a permanent bookseller here in Clunes all year round. For the
first time ever The Bookotorium will be open all day**, ready and
waiting for anyone who may stumble upon us. (Without any advertising
it really will be a “stumble upon us”.)
If you
are reading this and are heading to Clunes for the festival and want
to visit the Bookotorium (that's code for Huc & Gabet
headquarters), go to the IGA (Supermarket), continue along Fraser
Street away from the festival on the same side of Fraser Street as
the IGA. Continue along for approx 10 metres and you will find a
drive way. I'm at the end of the drive way. It should be fairly
obvious. Entry is free, you won't need a festival pass.
If you get
really lost phone me 0437 444 212.
I look
forward to seeing you...
* They
did the same thing last year.

Normally we are only open by appointment
