And, in the tradition of all good bookshops, Page Two has a definite feline presence. Wilfred and Imogen, bibliophilic Burmese of affectionate but demanding temperament, often join me in welcoming visitors to our domain.

| In the middle of Fitzroy's cafe society, adjacent to the über-fashionable Gertrude Street and just minutes from Melbourne's CBD, Page Two is located in a warehouse which began its life as a furniture factory in the 1930s, housed an aboriginal arts & craft group in the ‘60s, and became the Australian Print Gallery workshop in the ‘80s. Now my internet-based bookshop, visitors are welcome to browse the shelves by arrangement, or most weekends – please email or phone to check opening times. And, in the tradition of all good bookshops, Page Two has a definite feline presence.
