Today I'm in Manly, New South Wales, Australia, chatting with Geoff Burgess, a co-owner of Desire Books & Records.
Desire Books first opened its doors in 2002 with the vision to build a "sell and buy community" for books and create more sustainability.
In 2014, stand-up comedian Julia Wilson and a few friends became the new owners of Desire Books, and in 2015, they added vinyl to their offerings, becoming known as Desire Books & Records.
