Books just waiting to be picked 
Greg picking books for the sales  |
Home PageWelcome to the home page of one of Australia's largest retailers of remaindered books.A book is "remaindered" when its publisher judges that its sales velocity has slowed to a point where it is no longer viable to keep the book in stock, and sells it off to the likes of us. We scour the globe for remainders, and then list them in our catalogues, which we print and mail every four weeks. If you would like to receive our printed catalogues, please Email Us your name and address. At any time we have two "live" catalogues, and the books in each are different. These are now on this web page, which you can browse by clicking on "SHOPPING" above. If you prefer, you can read or print out the catalogues or just those categories you want. Just click Print Catalogue for this service. We offer an email alert service whereby we send you an email whenever a new catalogue is posted on our web site. If you would like to receive an email alert, please Email Us. The mailed version of our catalogue always has a chatty introduction, which is reproduced here for our most recent catalogue - December 2008. The extended Clouston family is putting together a family cookbook over the next couple of years. It will include all the favourite old recipes that our children have asked for as they've left home, set up house, and now, get married. There will be things like Aberdeen Sausage, Onion Tart, Mexican Steak, Nan's Plum Pudding, Peach Blossom Cake and Anne's Fried Rice. With the compliments of the season we include the recipe for the Christmas Cake Sally and Tom make every year. It is adapted from an insert into the Australian Woman's Weekly of November 14, 1973; Best Ever Christmas Cakes. The ingredients are: 1 can crushed pineapple, (equivalent to 15oz); 500g. mixed dried fruit; 2 packets glacé cherries; 120g butter; 1 cup sugar; 1 teaspoon mixed spice; 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda; 2 eggs; 1 cup plain flour; 1 cup self-raising flour; quarter teaspoon salt. The method is: Line a deep 20cm (the equivalent of an 8-inch) cake tin with two thicknesses of baking paper. Combine undrained pineapple, butter, mixed fruit, cherries, sugar, spice and soda in a saucepan. Stir over heat until sugar is dissolved, bring to a boil. Boil gently, uncovered for 3 minutes. Allow to cool, then add beaten eggs and sifted dry ingredients. Mix well. Spread evenly into prepared tin and bake in moderate oven 1.5 hours. Cover, remove from baking tin when completely cold. All orders received up to close of business on Thursday, 18th December will leave with Australia Post on Friday 19th December. With any luck you should thus have your orders by Christmas. Sales during the life of this catalogue will be held in Sydney and Melbourne. See Truck Sales for details. |
