Recently we\u2019ve sold fabulous things that have come through, like <em>The<\/em> <em>Magic Pudding<\/em> and Enid Blyton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve built a community on Instagram, where we share stock or goodies as they come in, and we have a shop on our website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Tsilemanis, there\u2019s a \u201cunique joy\u201d and \u201ccommunity feeling\u201d in connecting a book with its next owner, and then getting it to its new home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71158\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-71158\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/09\/DSC_0062-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tsilemanis has said goodbye to her Sturt Street shopfront, now running an online business from her home workspace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhen I drop things off to people\u2019s houses, we get to know what interests people have, we can link them up with books as they come in, and it\u2019s a very personalised service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe usually do a swap in the letterbox, so people have left us cards or kids have done drawings on the envelope. It\u2019s been really beautiful. It\u2019s booklovers coming together and loving books,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Offering free local delivery in Ballarat, Tsilemanis heads out on her bike to drop books off as much as she can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m loving it. It\u2019s good for my fitness and mental health, and I also get to explore different parts of town which I might not have been to before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoy looking down all the different streets, taking photos on my way, seeing all the different cats along the route, and it\u2019s good for the environment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a freedom in not being tied down to a shop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the expanded name, the business is set to encompass more of Tsilemanis and Mr Potter\u2019s interests and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve both finished PhDs recently&#8230;so we have a lot of knowledge to share, and that\u2019s where the Ideas part comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re keen to take their audience on <a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/ballarat\/news\/black-hill-never-sounded-so-good\/\">\u201cjourneys in audio,\u201d utilising sound experience<\/a>, archival material, records and history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just been successful with a Regional Arts Fund grant through Regional Arts Victoria, which will allow me to create a pilot episode of a podcast over the next couple of months,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe concept is the life of books. Each episode will have a theme that starts with a book, or collection, and then unfurls stories. I just recently read <em>The Getting of Wisdom<\/em>, so I\u2019d love to do one on Henry Handel Richardson who lived in regional Victoria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsilemanis continues to read new and old books on the shop\u2019s Instagram TV page, and encourages public requests.<\/p>\n<p>As Minerva\u2019s Books &amp; Ideas moves into its next chapter, the lease of the BMI shopfront has been transferred to a new operator with a similar outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Costume tailor, Christine Crawshaw is opening her store, Sothis Books &amp; Sartorial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen there will be four second-hand bookshops in town, and she will sell other interesting and creative things as well,\u201d Tsilemanis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really proud to have been able to support her to get that happening.
