Spring is only two days away here in Melbourne marking the end of a very loooong and cold Winter and we cannot wait!
It’s also Father’s Day on Sunday (don’t panic, there’s still time to send a voucher for a great new book on the off chance you’ve forgotten or been or hibernating).
Happy weekend everyone.

I was chatting to a friend who is returning to study this year. As I always do, I suggested she buy her textbooks via Booko. ‘Oh, no, she said – I’ll probably get them second hand.’
Avid Booko followers probably know this already, but Booko searches for your book of choice from around 60 online bookstores, which includes 11 bookstores that sell both new and used copies. Brilliant. Some of our most popular booksellers are campus bookstores. We feature books from Textbooks Oz, The Campus Bookstore and TheNile, amongst others.
As money is always tight for students, getting the right book at a bargain price means more money to spend at the Uni Bar (the mature age equivalent is probably the mortgage). To set yourself up for success price-wise, spend 5 minutes on Booko and pop in some alerts for your textbooks. When you want to be alerted as to when a book is under a certain price, you will be sent an email alert. Instructions for how to do this can be found here.
Here’s a selection of some of the most popular textbooks featuring on Booko at the moment:
