Shearer's Books Blog: 2014

Monday, 31 March 2014

Dear Customers,

We would like to thank you all for your loyalty over the years. We place tremendous value on this wonderful community we are all a part of.

Shearer's opened its doors in Gordon 28 years ago and 16 years ago found its new home in Leichhardt. In that time we have enjoyed talking books with you, our lovely customers, who have always been so loyal, friendly, and supportive.

We have recently had to make some extremely difficult decisions. As you know, we have had difficulties in finding a home for Shearer's. Along with health issues and family commitments, this has not been easy. For these reasons, and with deep regret, we have had to make the decision to close the bricks and mortar side of Shearer's Bookshop on 31st May, 2014.

But we are not leaving entirely! Our new web site is nearly ready to go live and we have great plans to run the Shearer’s website with creativity and flair. The website will still have reviews and recommendations, new and exciting content, and a 10% discount – all with the personal touch you have come to expect from us at Shearer's.

We do appreciate your loyalty over the years and will honour any Shearer's vouchers you have been given or purchased in the past 12 months. These will be redeemable in store or over the phone until 31st May, 2014.

Your constant support has meant a great deal to us and we will forever have fond memories of our time in retail bookselling. Thank you.

We look forward to seeing you in store at MarketPlace for now, and at www.shearersbookshop.com.au in the future.

Sincerely,

Barbara & Tony Horgan and all the flock at Shearer’s
