frances macaulay forde this poem was inspired by a visit to boffin s books in 2004 it won 3rd prize in the inner city life literary competition 2004 the boffin bookshops are like lovers they numb in black white then seduce you with colour titillate and tempt your soul until you finally let go find the courage to close the book pages which leave you gasping the breath of air on your face feels like a slap frances macaulay forde 2004 important announcement the closure of boffins books content copied from their website after more than 37 years of trading boffins books will officially cease operations on 6 june 2026 since opening our doors in february 1989 boffins has evolved from a niche technical bookshop on hay street to a premier destination for specialist professional and general interest titles we take immense pride in having served as a sanctuary for bibliophiles and a partner to libraries authors and festivals to celebrate and promote books the decision to close the decision to close follows a period of unprecedented structural and economic shifts within the retail landscape changing cbd dynamics the rise of flexible work from home wfh arrangements has fundamentally altered city foot traffic while the growth of suburban destination hubs has redirected traditional cbd patronage economic pressures like many independent retailers recently boffins has faced a double hit of escalating operational costs including rising energy insurance wages and freight costs alongside a tightening of discretionary consumer spending driven by the cost of living crisis our legacy we remain incredibly proud of our history from our original motto facts at your fingertips to our recent years at 88 william street our commitment to sourcing obscure technical manuals and supporting local australian authors has always been at the heart of what we do this success was only possible because of our knowledgeable staff and our loyal community of readers we also
