“It’s always time for tea“.

This depiction of the Hat Hatter’s tea party is by a Bristol based illustrator’s social group called Brillustration and I hope they are still cheering up the shop windows along Park Street, despite Blackwell’s Bookshop relocating since my last visit to Bristol [if this article in the Bristol Post is to be believed].

The Queen of Hearts – “OFF with their heads!”

I have never read “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, but of course I’m aware of most of the key features of the plot and I have occasionally found myself, coincidently, following in the author’s footsteps [Lewis Carroll and I have the dodo from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in common for example].

I suppose that is what makes something iconic – when you get recognition with the bare minimum of effort!

"Hello! I'm a box".

“Hello! I’m a box”

The Cardboard Box Book” by Roger Priddy, looks like a great book; I even contemplated buying it for my nephew, but I was concerned that he’d fill my sister’s relatively small house with boxes from floor to ceiling with boxes! I spotted this moustachioed and bespectacled box in the window of Blackwell’s Bookshop on Park Street, Bristol. Also note the kennel for Tintin’s dog Snowy, of “Herge’s Adventures of Tintin” fame, on the right of the photograph.

I discovered this photograph in a box marked “Ephemera”, upstairs in The Beverley Old Bookshop, and I’ve never seen one quite like it (note the silver, embossed, frame). I also picked up a copy of Jaroslav Hasek’s “The Good Soldier Schweik” and an old map of Dorset.
The Beverley Old Bookshop is well worth a visit if you like books and you’re in Beverley, but if you want something in particular you better look them up in the telephone directory, because they don’t do computers.

Visited: 1st January 2014.
