Dear Friends
Join us at the New International Bookshop to hear authors speak about their
work and to contribute your ideas about issues of concern to the left.
All of the events below are free and all are sponsored by the New
International Bookshop.
Open Australia
Speaker : Lindsay Tanner
12:30pm Friday 5th March
Is Australia an open or closed society? In "Open Australia" Lindsay Tanner
argues that this simple question underpins virtually all major issues in
contemporary Australia. Come along to hear Lindsay talk about his new book
and his vision of a Government which facilitates rather than commands change.
The Bouvet Quartet
and the perils of publishing
Speaker : Michael Jorgensen
2pm Sunday 7th March
Michael describes himself as 'an architect who has sketched and scribbled
most of his life. His new book, which is not entirely uninfluenced by Conan
Doyle, is the first of a self-published Quartet.

difficulties of self-publishing.
