Fulfilling the dream of many a book lover, Annette Freeman bravely stepped outside her mid-life comfort zone and opened a bookshop cafe in the heart of Sydney. Tea in the Library became a much beloved haven for readers, a cosy forum for writers and a great place for coffee - and nineteen varieties of tea. But behind the scenes were anxieties large and small, frustrations, challenges, and occasionally glorious moments of success. Welcome to retail! The triumphs and disasters, the eccentric characters and the myriad challenges of retail are spiced with wry observation and a good sprinkling of literary references. In the end, everyone will have a view on what could have been done differently to save a small bookshop cafe that briefly lit up the Sydney literary scene.
