# Tea with Alice S4 E5 | 50 Years of Books, Tea, and Memories with David Gaunt

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Alice R Fraser.

In this episode of Tea with Alice, I sit down with veteran Sydney bookseller David Gaunt. As always we talk tea, in this instance childhood memories and slowing down, to the brutal and long running effort to establish and maintain Gleebooks for half a century.

We talk about the value of independent bookstores, authentic reading, and traditional teas in a world that keeps pushing everything toward speed and ease.
