Stop Press- Typo!

I just thought I'd do a quick update, had to go into the city today for a visual merchandising meeting, and as i was walking through Carillon city arcade i saw there were some new shops in which the window of one of them had a black A4 notebook that had 3 pistols on the cover (i am a big fan of guns and skulls- only commercially though, not the real thing). Anyways my shopping radar went off and i took a mental note to return on my out.

I walked in and was AMAZED, the coolest little shop, everything in there i wanted, tonnes of cool notebooks, house ornaments, lanterns, laptop cases....think kikki k or smiggle mixed with a quirky house interiors shop- and cheap! my favourite word! (only when describing an item to purchase, not my personal styling taste).
It's name is TYPO and apparently it's part of the cotton on group and i love those guys so of course it had to be their idea, anyways i inquired about the gun book and the sales assistant mentioned my other favourite word "it's on sale", heart palpatations now....i found it, for $2!!!!! yes you read correctly, so i bought 3, (different ones of course), i loooove a bargain.
I told my boyfriend about my discovery excpecting him to sigh and repeat the sentence "stop spending your money!", instead to my shock he said "can you get me one?".
I'm sorry what? he's encouraging me to return to a shop and spend money? my dreams came true! (bit of an e-xag there), but yes so i'm getting hot flushes thinking of when i can next return to this quirky little place, lock it in for next week me thinks!
here are my lovelies that i bought, i have a thing against those people who wear those oversized wolf and moon shirts (they all seem to tuck them into their jeans and have poor hygeine), so the bf will probably be a bit puzzled to my choice, but i just think it's got that cool 70's sketching artwork look to it.
I probably won't use these books, as i just like to collect notebooks, here are some i prepared/bought earlier:
