Dear Customers, my house was totally lost in the Adelaide Hills bushfires. All the books are burnt. My apologies to anyone looking for books or magazines, but there are currently no supplies.

Watch this space for updates.

Imported Craft Books
Australia Wide Mailing Service

This site is dedicated to selling books in Australia with the twin foci of books on fibre craft and books likely to be of interest to recreational medievalists. I try to keep the catalogue up to date with what books I have in stock. Please ask about books not on the catalogue. Many more books can be ordered on request, or are already on order, and will appear in the catalogue when they arrive. Please check back regularly for new books. Most books are imported from the US, which can take between one and three months to arrive. Prices can change without warning depending on the exchange rate and the cost of freight from USA.

Colonial Lake Books is based in South Australia, but can send books Australia wide. I am happy to bring books to local SA craft groups for selling, and can visit interstate groups when I am travelling in that direction. Enquiries welcome.
