Bookstall is NOT on today Feb 20th

   Haere mai. After last week's drizzle that meant I couldn't set up the stall, this week's forecast of more rain throughout the day has forced me to once again decide to put off doing the stall. Next week I'll have more new books on the stall including two or three sets of manga books which hopefully will interest the hipsters of Happenin' Hackney.

   I'm off to the pub to use the wifi to pinch the images of the photographs of Elizabeth Pulman that are up for sale today at Trevanion and Dean. The estimates will make your eyes water. I'll put them up on my tumblr page. Tumblr page? Yep, something new, I put up things I like where I can get large-size images from auction and dealer websites. No, I don't ask permission. I give details of where the picture is located/ for sale/ or sold if I know it. That should be sufficient. It is Tumblr after all. I've only just started so there are only a few pictures up so far (Seago, Boudin, Signac et al). Have a look, the address is:

   Until next week, haere ra, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Feb 13th

   Oooh, the weather looks pretty dodgy again today, but, ever the optimist (cough), we'll give it a go. More new stuff this week so pop on down to the market for a bit of culture. There are deals to be done.

   As an incentive, the first person to say the following will be able to pick two free catalogues of his/her choice:

                       'Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible' - M.C. Escher.

   See you soon, Andrew.

Bookstall is on-ish today Feb 6th

   Haere mai, today is New Zealand Day so there might be a few giveaways to celebrate. The weather is looking a bit dodgy, particularly early on, so fingers-crossed we can get set up to make the day worthwhile. Lots of  good things today including this week's Impressionist Art sales at Christie's and a few books from the end of last year.

   As an incentive, the first person to say the following will be able to pick two free art auction catalogues of his/her choice:

                          'To have a great idea, have a lot of them.' - Thomas Edison.

   See you soon, Andrew.
