Retired book shop owner who still seems to have all the books
Keen to read but a little terrified as signed first that needs to keep in good condition. Despite having been in book trade for so many years anything I get my hands on shows a clear history of several days meals etc #firsteditions #mickherron

Another highlight of my day was the Moby Dick book arts exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum. My favorite was this binding by Susan and Chaim Ebanks.

Needing some light reading while recovering from recent operation I thought would give this a go. Struggling to get past first chapter but to be fair to Simon Mason might be the pain rather than the book #Books #SimonMason

COVID was in full flow when my lease ended & failed to clear the general book stock .. haunts every inch of storage I have. So hard to dump books ! Yes they are saleable but estimated having to live to about a 1000 to achieve clearance #OldBooks #Books #Bookshops
