The iconic Rosetta Books in Maleny has been sold and will change owners on the 18th of October.
Current owners, Jan and Jeff Cornfoot (pictured), said it has been a pleasure to own Rosetta’s, working in their lovely space, with such supportive local SEQ customers and many others visiting from around the world.
Unfortunately, continuing health issues for Jan have brought on this decision.
“I look forward to genuine retirement, relieved that another passionate booklover, Leanne Dodd, will own Rosetta Books. Leanne and her husband, Rob, will take over next week,” said Jan.
“In the meantime, Jeff and I thank our customers you for your generous support, your conversations, friendship and your interesting challenges to access those ‘hard to find’ books.
“Also, the support we’ve experienced from the staff, publishers, authors and many others including Steven and Tyyni Lang from Outspoken and especially, our daughter, Sarah.”
Jan and Jeff moved to the Blackall Range 43 years ago. After living in different locations with Jeff’s work as an airline pilot, they moved back permanently 22 years ago and plan to stay in Maleny.
You can call in to Rosetta’s during their final week and even the shop early for Christmas with so much stock arriving.
