Book store opens

A second-hand bookshop has been started in Umina.

Operating under the name of Booklovers of Umina, the business opened its doors on October 25.

The store carries a wide range of books with as many as 15,000 titles in stock, according to proprietor Steve Etcell.

Mr Etcell previously owned the Gateway Book Exchange for over eight years and selected Umina for his business because it did not have a second-hand bookshop.

Steve has lived on the Coast for over 28 years and currently lives at Avoca.
