    I put an order in online from the US and never received my product. While I placed this order in…read moreOctober of 2011. Sometime has seriously passed- without a word since March. While I do not want to slander the person handling (or the lack of) handling my case. I do have email correspondence that died off with no follow-up. I would like a refund for my product that never was shipped. I'm sure this company is not bad, but the folks in-charge are just too busy or can care-less. Leaving customers hanging and ripping them off is not the way to do business, period. www.nationstate.com.au

So it should be clear then where I'm going to go with this. I am going to tell you, dear reader, that I love this place. Mag Nation is a magazine store. That is to say, they only sell magazines - no clear-lined writing books, no greeting cards, no pens and pencils and pencil sharpeners, no newspapers, no Archie comics (they do sell some comics but not Archie), they don't sell bus travel tickets, they don't sell cigarettes, no newspapers, no cold drinks. Magazines. That's it. And it's on two levels. That's two levels of magazines. You'll need more than pocket change. The magazines all vary in price and if you're literate and you have hopes, dreams, curiosities, interests, you will likely want to go out the store with more than one so be prepared to come in with a semi-fat wallet.

    If there's an unusual or foreign, or unusually foreign magazine that you are struggling to get your…read morehands on, then may I take this opportunity to recommend to you, the World Square Newsagent? I can? Thank you... I will. The World Square Newsagent on Pitt Street, down near, you guessed it, World Square, is just your average newsagents, they sell chocolate and gum, soft drinks, water, stationary, birthday cards, newspapers and magazines. But more importantly, they also import a lot of magazines from overseas. Something a lot of news agencies don' t to do, perhaps for the expense or the lack of confidence they have that the magazine will sell, being that most magazines have a shelf life of one month before they're yesterdays news. I scoured many a newsagent in the inner west, the northern suburbs and the middle of the city, till I finally came across World Square Newsagents. I was looking for an American publication called Script, and no body had it. I was beginning to lose heart. I knew I'd seen it before, I knew it existed, but where? When I entered the shop I realised that they had many more imports as well, not just from America, but from other countries as well. Unfortunately though, there are still issues. I had hoped to get the latest issue of Script, due out in September, but the delivery was running late, this is an import issue and no fault of the Newsagents. Just a juicy bit of information that's not actually juicy and barely qualifies as information.

    Interesting selection of magazines and newspapers. They have Chinese language newspapers but only…read moreEnglish language magazines.

    I decided that I would like to do some research into whether Australia publishes any humour…read moremagazines like 'The Onion' in the United States of America, so I walked into the Broadway shopping centre and into the Newsagency housed within. The first thing I noticed as I walked in was that behind the counter were four very attractive women. The next thing I noticed was four very attractive woman behind the, oh wait, sorry, the next thing I noticed was the large amount of magazines in this sizeable inner city newsagent. They had a huge range, every topic under the sun one would think, except for humour magazines. But I was quite impressed with their literary section, as most newsagents don't tend to have any. I thought about getting a writing magazine, but it was squarely focused on writing in pros and creating novels, generating ideas and beating writers block, I'm more interested in screenplays, but unfortunately they had nothing for me, (I've already read the current issue of 'Creative Screenwriter and Script') But yes, I took note that they stocked them both. I will return for the magazines, and that's the only reason. The last thing I need is another restraining order, I mean a first restraining order.

    Broadway Newsagency is big. They have so many magazines that you could spend hours in here... not…read morethat you should, but if you are searching for a particular kind of magazine, or just browsing, then this is the place to come. I found a few for my dad for his birthday, all about folk music and guitar playing. I figured get him a few for his birthday to read, and then buy the subscription for xmas. Well it would have been clever but he hasn't said that he liked any of them... There is a huge range of cards for any occasion as well as stationery galore. I could spend ages looking at notebooks, but I wont walk about that.

    Basement Books is a dangerous place on many levels…read more Danger number one: It's in Central. It is right in Central. Central is a place you meet people, so you might say, meet you in central at 4pm and then you get there at 3.30pm and you have to wait. So what do you do? You go to Basement Books and peruse their countless books with bright yellow stickers advertising their low and affordable price. Danger number two: Because these books that you're perusing are cheap, you can justify the price even if you're not sure whether you even need the book. 'Oh, a history of Physics' I've always been interested in Physics, and it's only $9.95 I should probably buy this and learn about Physics. Danger number three: Their range is gigantic! I almost said 'ginormous', but that's not a word. What I meant was Hugantic! There are literally thousands upon thousands of books and they're always receiving new stock. They have art sections, computer sections, history, film, personal growth, science fiction, literature, even books like the dictionary, which, had I purchased a copy last I was in, would have saved me the embarrassment of using a non-word like 'ginormous'. So beware of Basement Books. You have been warned. The bookshop is in a great location, the titles are cheap and the range extraordinary. I have a pile of books in my room almost as tall as I am that I have yet to read, opportune purchases that came at me as I strolled amidst the aisles killing time. A book on deadly diseases for $4.95, I'm not going to find that bargain again. Buy! Buy! Buy!

    In this day and age of Kindle and Kobo and Nook, a solid read (and I mean one that you can…read moreliterally hold and turn pages beneath your fingers) comes pretty cheap. You really do need to head in to see what they've got because I find their online catalogue lacking and sometimes the staff don't even know what they're stocking. The outside disguises how big this place really is, as it has sections for anything from classic fiction to travel books and bios. It has a pretty decent selection of art supplies as well (I'm no art student, but it does cater for scrapbooking hobbies or the amateur artist if you're after it). Right in the back corner they have a little children's section which I found perfect for my six year old sister who's going through her first reading phase. I bought her a collection of these tiny Winnie the Pooh classics, and a special anniversary edition of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit and Friends stories which averaged around $4 and $12 respectively. They have tons of different hard cover books (some of which are pop up!) which were surprisingly cheap, but more importantly, were invaluable in keeping kids (of all ages) entertained for hours.
