Pages Plus from the front (currently undergoing rennovations for the grand opening)
Pages Plus is a new bookstore currently setting up shop on Henry Street in Penrith, Western Sydney. It's located in the premises that used to be the Penrith Pool Hall, so it's quite large.

The grand opening happens this Saturday the 2nd, so if you're out Penrith-way or are a local you might want to check it out. Ken Davis will be playing the piano live on the day, and violinist Manja Luo will be performing too. Michelle Cranston, author of the new Marie Claire cookbook, will be instore to sign copies. Andrew Voss, of Channel 9 Sports, will also be on hand to sign copies of his new book 'Memoirs of a Rookie Parent' too. It's all gonna be happening!
With the addition of Pages Plus to Penrith's growing pantheon of book stores it seems that the town is shaping up to be a bit of a mecca for book enthusiasts. I don't want to court controversy here, but in a town frequented by many tracky-dack wearing dole queue afficianados who could've seen that happening? Westfields has three chain bookstores and the High Street/Station street area have two 2nd-hand bookstores. We also have a christian bookstore too, further up Henry Street. Pages Plus brings the total to 7 bookstores in Penrith CBD. Times are a-changing!
