Around 300 people gathered outside Melbourne’s oldest bookshop, Hill of Content, to help it move to its new location just 130 metres down the road. The store first opening in 1922 and the three-storey, heritage-listed building it occupied for 103 years was sold for $5.3m last year, with the bookshop’s owners forced to start searching for a new home. Diana Johnson, who owns Hill of Content with her husband, Duncan Johnson, said the human chain would pass 17,000 books up to the new store
