Here in Brisbane, you can become a member of the Queensland Writers Centre
(www.qwc.asn.au) for $49, and get 10% discount at a few Dymocks stores, as well
as the AMerican Bookstore. If you buy a lot of books, the membership pays for
itself in no time.

Just on the subject of books and reference materials...
Can't speak for everyone here, but I'm regularly buying all sorts of
reference and training books. Sure they're tax deductible, but wouldn't it
be great if our professional bodies (i.e. ASTC or STC) could negotiate a
small discount (5%?) at say, Dymocks, for members?
Janet et al, have you guys ever approached a major book retailer? I would
have no idea how to go about it.
