A serious question
Fri, 14 Dec 2001, 07:17 pmYep; you thought you'd never see the day, but...
Anyone know any reputable bookstores that sell scripts? Be they second-hand or new, I'd like to compile a list of shops to peruse to build up a library of my very own.
Any good pointers?

(ps: Jen and Davis think this should have gone on the Bulletin Board. Maybe they be right, but I think this one gets more action...)

Sat, 15 Dec 2001, 12:39 amThe secondhand bookshop you refer to is, of course, Elizabeth's - they have three stores also in Fremantle, one in Subi, and one more in Perth, on Barrack street. Their theatre section is usually very good and I have found many a gem on their shelves.
I find one of the best places (aside from the Arcane) to get scripts is the Lane Bookshop in Claremont, down Old Theatre Lane. However, the scripts section in the store, which I would spend plenty of time gazing at on a weekly basis, seems to have moved, and I cannot find where they have relocated it to in the store. I am not willing to ask where they have moved it to, just in case they have deleted the section, which would be a great loss. They are particularly good for Shakespearean texts.
My favourite one, however, not so much for scripts as for theatre books, is Boffin's on Hay Street. They have large section devoted to the more technical sides of the business, with all of the works of such luminaries of our trade as David Mamet and Cicely Berry.
Happy book shopping (the greatest type of shopping there is!!)
