Welcome to Vanessa Berry World. A world of obsessive detail and interesting packaging.

Strawberry Hills Forever Is Vanessa's first book! It is made up of stories taken from Vanessa's zines I am a Camera and Laughter and the Sounds of Teacups, as well as fresh new stories from Vanessa Berry land. Within its strawberry-patterned covers are tales of op shops, the Olympia milk bar, being a goth girl, suburban adventures, dressing up in a rabbit suit, old ladies sipping cappucinos, custard tarts, missing the Camperdown velodrome, and the illuminated everyday. What's more, thanks to Keg de Souza, it includes a rabbit, a turtle, a rooster and a unicorn. It was launched in style on the 23rd of June, at the Camperdown Bowling Club. See the launch invite here, in all its smoking dogs and typewriter glory. You can order it at any bookstore in Australia, if they don't already have it on the shelf. They wiill be delighted to order it in for you, I guarantee. In Sydney, I know that it's stocked at Gleebooks and Kinokuniya. Buy a copy online.
