Title: Sydney's Phantom Book Shops.
Description: University Co-Operative Bookshop Limited, Broadway / Sydney 1973, 144pp. Illustrated. Cloth with dustjacket. In good condition. Sydney's Phantom Book Shops sets out on an ambitious journey to traverse the streets of Sydney and to draw together the threads of romance, of booksellers and bookshops. In the early days, London's Paternoster Row found its Sydney counterpart in Sergeant Major's Row which became George Street in 1810. Pitt Street was to follow George Street's example but it was Castlereagh Street that the poetic acclaimed as Booksellers Row. The rise and fall of Castlereagh Street, its moments of triumph, its darkened days of defeat, invite comparisons and make us wonder at the almost overnight displacement of the halcyon days of leisurely browsing and selecting to the abrupt change and pace of a metropolis.
