Harsh; picking books that aren’t in paperback. Not sure I’ll get it read before this time next month but I’ll try.
Thanks for your feedback, Di.
We decided to have this book as our Book club selection because it was voted the most popular science book in Australia. Definitely worth reading!
Sounds like a great book. Cannot find a bookshop that has it though. Tried Mary Martin, Dymocks, Angus and Robertson. It’s available from online stores, but it won’t reach me in time to read it before your event. Don’t suppose you can suggest a store? Thanks!
Hi Benita,
we bought the book online, so I can’t help you with stores. You can try downloading it as an e-book through Kindle or other e-book reader.
Good luck and I hope we will see you during the book club!

Thanks Petra, downloading an ebook was a good idea, but unfortunately it is not available yet in that format. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Hi Benita,
I found it here: http://www.booksamillion.com/product/Q719743711?id=5200238560967. Amazon doesn’t offer it yet, but Books-a-Million should work.
Good luck!
