Kate & Neil are superb. They also have a book range that is all Australian 👏👏 I was looking for something for a toddler and found this book (see pic) and it is perfect. It’s all about Australian animals and will help little ones learn about the nature that is right here in our own country. Badgers and Toads have their place but this little fella has plenty of time to graduate to those little delights later on.
This shop is unique and they also sell new releases vinyl LP’s.
I encourage you to check them out, soon 😎👍

INCREDIBLE READ!

Set in 1600s London the book explores a world in which beauty is women’s only currency. Explored through the perspectives of 3 characters that are hard not to fall in love with. This books gives the perfect mix of history, romcom and women empowerment. thoroughly enjoyed!!

A new Star

PR&B were new to me never heard of them before I stumbled upon their website. It looked very professional, nice.
So I thought I'd like to support a local(ish) store and ordered 2 LPs.
Very reasonable prices and ultra fast delivery.
There is nothing more you could ask for.

Thanks Kate.
