The 2008 Clunes Booktown event was held over the weekend of May 3-4. "The Age" ran a report on what was to be expected at this year's gathering, ABC Radio's "Book Show" was there and spoke to author John Marsden, "The Brisbane Times" ran a feature, and "The Courier" out of Ballarat reported favourably on the whole event.
On the blog front:
- Beth Driscoll found the books a bit underwhelming
- Hackpacker has a "great day"
- Chocolate Cobwebs combined a visit to Clunes with another stop at a bookshop near Castlemaine
- The Book Grocer sold books in Clunes and promises a follow-up to this post
- Caroline took along a friend and found a friendly atmosphere
