Book Club with Robyn Annear. Nothing New.

ZOOM Join from anywhere in the world

Upholders, shoddy, Petticoat Lane, fripperers - Nothing New opens up a wonderful world that, despite our love-affair with op-shops, is all but hidden from us in today's world of consumerism and obsolescence. Join the wonderful Robyn Annear when she talks about Nothing New, her latest book, which chronicles the history of second-hand trade across the world and down the ages (Jesus' clothes would have been divided up among the soldiers guarding the crosses as their perquisite or perk as we'd say today). We are asking those that join bookclub to bring their own favourite story of an op-shop find or hand-me-down.
