Collins Booksellers Follow-Up

I was in the Hill of Content Bookshop the other day and was saddened to see the greatly reduced stock on offer. This shop was caught up in the Collins Booksellers collapse of a couple of months ago. Since then there have been rumours that someone was intending to purchase the shop to keep it running as a going concern. I look forward to the improvement. The Chadstone shop in Melbourne's eastern suburbs has closed and been replaced by yet another clothing store, and the "Sydney Morning Herald" reports that several Collins franchises have now been taken over in and around Sydney. So there is some movement.
