“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.

Bookmark, The Cathedrals of England.

What a surprise! Looking for a reference in my Batsford & Fry “The Cathedrals of England” I found this postcard of Patricia Roc on page 91 (Southwell Minster)! Whoever owned the book before me must have been a fan of Gainsborough melodramas. The receipt, which I’ve kept in the book, says I bought it from Bailgate Books Ltd of Lincoln. I hope the postcard was a free gift!
