Orwell posed a rather apt debate in 1946 in his essay Books vs. Cigarettes. The price of buying or even reading books is, well, expensive. It rubs the ulcer between your wallet's economy and your heart's thirst for information. We, however, welcome the renaissance of composite titles, limited edition multiples, visual safaris and literary grandeur, at any cost.
Open for two weeks, RAINOFF Books have assembled a highly filtered bookshelf which reads like glutton for a curious mind. Here you will find local and international expressions sure to create both conversation and stimulation.
Darlo may be home to many sharps, but the only thing ripping you apart will be the manicured parchment.

About
TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
