books

every major city has a bookshop, right. In rockhampton, I've seen books for sale in newsagents but not found a bookshop proper. so, where is THE bookshop in rockhampton? have i just missed the place?

meanwhile, amazon.com comes to the rescue. I've just received two texts today that i ordered recently. Fairclough's Analysing Discourse and Coffey and Atkinson, Making Sense of Qualitative Data. I am happy to get both but looking forward to reading the former. Why? I know several people who have used Fairclough in their doctoral work but when pushed for a discussion about it make the same comment - I didn't really go into it at a deep level. mmm, I wonder why? what is it about Fairclough that appeals and then isn't used thoroughly (from all accounts)?

There is no bookshop in Rockhampton! Angus & Robertson (southside store) (ask for Leanne) is as close as we get. Tragic, I know...

Hello Jan. good to hear from you. I'm find your uni address and email. I'm afraid most of my own email addresses went "west", or should I say "stayed south" with my ballarat uni account which i can no longer access. c
