Bookstall is on today Nov 29th

   Well, after last week's non-start it looks as though we are in for a fine day. You'll be able to see the new stuff from last week plus some other goodies as well.

    As an incentive, the first person to repeat the following Spike Milligan verse will be able to pick two free catalogues of his/her choice.

                  "The one-L lama he's a priest,
                    The two-L llama he's a beast,
                    But I will bet a silk pyjama
                    There isn't any three-L lllama"

   The punctuation may be wrong but then I haven't seen it written down in over thirty years. Another easy comp. See you soon, don't miss out, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Nov 22nd

   Ever the optimist I'm hopeful that the rain will hold off and that the BBC forecast is wrong again. There are catalogues for forthcoming sales including contemporary art, design and Old Masters. Something for everyone. I have some die-cast metal figurines and yet more cigar boxes.

   As an incentive to come down to the market the first person who asks the following question can choose two free auction catalogues:

                                  "Do Scousers suffer from Irritable Vowel Syndrome?"

   Dead easy. See you soon, Andrew

Bookstall is on today Nov 15th

   I thought the weather was going to be a bit iffy, but we might just get away with it. More new catalogues including the two Warhols from this week's sale in New York - see what US$150 million buys you. The two catalogues come in a nice slipcase as well. I've a load more cigar boxes including a couple of nice Cohiba ones.

   As an incentive to come down to the stall, the first person to repeat the following will be able to pick two catalogues for free of his/her choice (but not the two mentioned above):

   "The All Blacks are such a great side, I think they'll win the World Cup"

    It can't be simpler. Come on down, don't miss out! Andrew

Bookstall is NOT on today Nov 8th

   No room at the inn this week. I tried to book on Tuesday but all available pitches were taken. Never mind, the weather forecast has changed every day this week - at the moment there looks like rain in the morning and afternoon. I'll be able to go to the pub to watch the mighty All Blacks defeat the English upstarts (this post may be edited later).
   I may put in an appearance at some point before the rugby to sort a couple of things out. I'll be putting up posts soon about an upcoming moa skeleton and a Maori Wars medal to the son of the founder of Harrod's. Until next time, Andrew.
