If you've ever flicked through a copy of VOGUE PARIS, DAZED & CONFUSED, ANOTHER MAN or DOINGBIRD chances are you've come across Frenchman Henry Roy's influential photography. There is something to behold in his beautiful works and the folks at The Spring Press concur, they've published a hardcover retrospective selection of the last nine years of his work.

Woollahra Municiple Library
I realised I was procrastinating in the library the other day when I borrowed a time management handbook. True story. But at Izrock we love all books. We like sharing too. This combination frequently brings us to libraries. We have often spoken about opening a public library and one day hope to do so.

From personal experience, we can tell you that Even Books is one of the best things going in Sydney at the moment. This time it's all about the 'russo-ruckus' which includes vodka, Moscow-style pancakes, vodka, Borscht, wine and more vodka. Oh yeah, and the book...there will be readings from THE MASTER & MARGARITA.

Roller Stop
The bookshelf is a prized pantry of carefully selected manuscripts, fine films, musical specimens, exotic publications and zine-like hooha. Keeping all this in check is the bookstop (also known as the ‘book end'), a variable specimen available in many homemade forms: a brick, globe, old boot, mug.
Out of Print Books
Nestled amongst a bakery, newsagent and several boarded-up shop fronts is arguably Australia's best anthology of out-of-print and collectible books. Co-owner Anne prefers to call the shop a 'storage facility' rather than a retail store, explaining that 90 percent of sales are made online from local and international customers.

This is a book about fan love, appreciation for their parents, and realising what life is really worth. Except that it is about none of those things. Promising to be a rude, crude account of life within Motley Crue, THE DIRT will be launched this weekend with fitting entertainment - a performance by feisty Chaingang, a reading by Sep Capton and even some rock trivia.

Recycled Ed Libris Journals
Post Moleskin introduced us to the $25 plus bracket for plain notepads, these marvels may be one for the vault. Destructed and meticulously rebuilt by some clever library geeks, here is a journal to satisfy those with a penchant for sumptuous stationary.
The story begins with an ex-library original hardback cover, sporadic pages of the original story, illustrations, stamps and pockets alongside new blank pages on which one may scribble or pen a new tale, sketch or collage general journalings.
