News & Events

A Weekend For Booklovers - in the first weekend in May each year the township of Clunes transforms itself into a booktown.

Saturday and Sunday: 1st and 2nd of May, 2010
Kenneth Hince Books will again be one of the Book Sellers participating in the annual 'Back to Booktown 2010' - the Clunes Community Event of the Year! Booksellers from all over the country came to Clunes to offer their treasures & award-winning writers joined us for the weekend. There is always much to enjoy - the books, the food and wine, and much much more.

Hince Books is situated in the AAG Real Estate Office (circa 1871), one of 18 bookstores dotted across the historic gold town! Well over 50 booksellers were offering their stock over the weekend and Clunes was offering an abundance of antique books, nostalgia, and treasure.

Clunes was the site of Victoria's first gold strike. It is located in a hidden valley surrounded by rounded hills which are actually extinct volcanoes (they can best be seen 3 km south along the road to Ballarat).

Ex Libris - The Port Fairy Book Fair

Each September the Ex Libris Book Fair presents a programme to engage people of all ages and tastes. Intimate sessions with visiting authors, often held in historic venues, allow for easy interaction between writers and their audience.

A highlight is the massive second-hand book sale from local, regional and Melbourne book-sellers. The light-hearted Barbara Cartland Hurl allows participants to show athletic ability.

All this and more in picturesque, coastal Port Fairy. 

Hince Books enjoyed exhibiting at the 2009 Ex Libris Book Fair at Port Fairy and is looking forward to the 11th Book Fair in 2010.

Details will be posted here when they are released.
