About
A trailblazer in Melbourne’s book world.Speakers: Kay Craddock in conversation with Jane Sullivan
When a teen-aged girl started a retail business with her parents in Essendon in 1965, she could not have imagined the life-long adventure that she had just begun. Today that girl is Kay Craddock, AM, a celebrated international figure in the world of rare and antiquarian books, a past president of the peak Australian and International organisations of antiquarian booksellers, and the founder of Melbourne Rare Book Week.
Join us to hear her story in conversation with Melbourne author and literary columnist, Jane Sullivan of The Age.
