The owner wasn't too happy about me taking pictures here. Have never met such a rude old bugger in Japan. So here are the pictures just to spite the bastard. In Kuramae, Tokyo.
Richard Booth's bookshop in Hay on Wye, the most amazing place for book lovers, even the haters like my daughter enjoyed it. Impossible to capture in a single shot so I've had to upload 5 (sorry) and even then I haven't shown you the wonderful Wizard of Oz window display or the beautiful wooden staircase or the carpeted reading area by the light filled windows with its sumptuous armchairs or the dark basement bursting at the seams or the... too much to show, you really have to go!
Richard Booth, self proclaimed King of Hay, started the second hand bookshop trend that has grown until Hay was declared the 'Town of Books'. It's most successful spinoff has been the Hay Literary Festival which attracts some 500,000 visitors a year to this tiny rural town. He no longer owns the shop but it is satisfying to see bookshops thriving.
Camilla's Bookshop in Eastbourne has three floors of second-hand books and utilises every inch of space to accommodate at least one million volumes.
Book club night.
I've joined a book club run by the local arts office in conjunction with the library and this book shop.
This month's book was 'Akin' by Irish author Emma Donoghue which I enjoyed.
Back on Flickr after a few years!
Done with my PhD thesis, that is why I come to life again!
I have a good number of pictures that I've been wanting to upload here over the years so hopefully I will be more active on this page.

A new bookshop seems set to open soon in Stockbridge which must be good and a change from the plethora of charity shops. I believe rare Birds Books is a "cult book subscription company" that has now decided to spread its wings and have a physical street presence making its nest in the heart of Stockbridge. I can't see myself being a patron as Val McDermid and Daphne du Maurier are as close as I get to female writing but I do hope that the project flies & wish them every success in this venture

For the SSC, this week the theme is "Books". So after work, yesterday i went to this wonderful "bookshop café" in the city center of Cahors " La fourmi rouge" where you can read and have a subtle Rooibos. I came back home with this photobook about Ernst Haas.
Henry is searching for a manuscript he is sure one of the Bronte sisters had written.
He thinks he saw a bookshop one evening when he was drunk but when he comes back he can¨t find it.
Martha after escaping from an abusive husband has found a job as a housekeeper with an old lady. The old lady lives next to the lane where Henry had seen the bookshop.
Strange things happen in this book which I enjoyed a lot.
