Bookstall is on today March 28th

   There might be a bit of rain around lunchtime, so wear a coat to the market today. Lots of new stuff including a batch of Phillips de Pury catalogues covering Contemporary Art, Design, and Photography. I've got about 150 to bring to the stall over the coming weeks so exploit me. They're all only two quid each - bargain.

   As an incentive, the first person who says the following sentence will be able to pick two catalogues of his/her choice for free. This week it's David Cameron's go-to phrase which he uses repeatedly, over and over again, until you've lost all sense of what he was trying to avoid saying:

                 "Blah blah blah, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, blah blah blah.

   Repeatedly. One time, he managed to squeeze three trebles into the one sentence. Never mind trying to follow the individual point, the whole subject of the interview had passed from one's memory.

   It's simple. I've more clothing including Sinstar t-shirts and sweatshirts. See you soon, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today March 21st

   After yesterday's eclipse non-event, you can look forward to coming down to the bookstall for another varied selection of art books and catalogues. I'm also expanding the clothing on offer so be sure to have a look. Remember, you're in a market, it's not a race, take your time to find art that you like, not just art you're supposed to like.

   As an incentive, the first person to repeat the following will be able to select two free art catalogues of his/her choice. There's also a bonus one if you can deliver it a la The Flying Lizards:

                                   "The best things in life are free
                                     But you can give them to the birds and bees
                                     I want Monet
                                    That's what I want. That's what I want. That's what I want."

    You may have to google flying lizards money if you're not of a certain age. See you, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today March 14th

   Well, there's the threat of the odd shower but overall it should be a dry day, fingers crossed. Lots of new stuff on the stall and I've got clothing as well (I picked some clobber up at auction this week). More cigar boxes and the free box will be prominant so you don't even have to buy anything. Still, if you don't come down to the stall you'll miss out.

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

                      "People wearing Hollister t-shirts. I just don't get it. What are they trying to say?

   If you can say it with a look of bemusement on your face all the better, you might get a bonus. It's not like the graphics are very good.  Every time I see one it puts me in a bad mood. Dickheads.

   See you at the market. Andrew.

Bookstall is on today March 7th

   Well it looks like Spring has sprung. The forecast is for a nice day so you've no excuses for not coming down to the stall. Lots of goodies to find new homes for, especially yours. More quality art books and catalogues, cigar boxes, and I've a few mens and womens jackets as well.

   As an incentive, the firest person to repeat the following will be able to pick two free art catalogues of his/her choice:
                               "I can't believe it's forty years since Born to Run came out!"

   You can also use this line to start a conversation with your dad! See you soon. Haere ra, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Feb 21st

   It's just no good. I've been doing a raindance all week so that I could play with my new Makita angle grinder today but, alas, all to no avail. I guess I'll have to do the stall instead. It's still a slow time of the year auctionwise, but I have some of the impressionist catalogues from the recent London sales and there will be stuff from my vast stock that you wont have seen before.

   As an incentive, the first person to ask the following question will be able to choose two free auction catalogues:
                                 "Do you think Terminator 2 is Zaha Hadid's favourite movie?"

   The comps are never difficult are they? What are you waiting for? Andrew.

   P.S. I hope you put money on the Kiwis to win the World Cup. There'll be a sign on the stall giving the result of the NZ vs England game to remind you of your mistake if you haven't.

   P.P.S. The photo of Channing Tatum  adorning the side of London buses advertising his film Foxcatcher. Am I the only person who thinks he looks like a Springbok meathead?

Bookstall is NOT on today Feb 14th

   The weather looks like it's going to be okay, but I'm just feeling too tired to do the stall this week. I'll spend the day trying to sort my stuff out and I'll probably go and buy an angle grinder. There's also a scrapyard that I want to check out as well before the rugby. Hopefully I'll be recharged for next week. Andrew.

   P.S. Remember, the smart money is on the New Zealanders in the cricket.

Bookstall is on today Feb 7th

   Well, It's been cold all week so I guess I have no excuse but to sit around in the cold for another day. I hope you appreciate me. Lots of the usual again.

   As an incentive to drag yourself  out, the first person to say the following will be able to choose two art catalogues of his/her choice free:

          "If  we sit here and drink some more beer,
           we'll be two inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dream."

   It's a line from Gary's Song by Mark Eitzel, lead singer with American Music Club that came out on Songs of Love in 1991.

   It's easy isn' it? Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Jan 31st

   Well, it looks like it might be another fine day, fingers crossed. Lots of stuff to go on the stall this week and there are always deals to be done as I'm keen to shift merchandise. There are more wine and cigar boxes as well, you know the score. You wont know what's in the books unless you open them.

  As an incentive, the first person to say the following will be able to choose two free art catalogues of his/her choice:
                                 "Every day is a schoolday."

    It was a line I heard on River Cottage Australia (8pm on More 4 on Sunday) and what better way to learn something new than to grab a catalogue or two from the stall. You don't even have to buy anything as there is a free box there to plunder. What are you waiting for?
andrew.

Bookstall is on today Jan 24th

   Well, the forecast shows sunshine throughout the day today - so be prepared for snow. Lots of new stuff this week and I will try to get there early.

   As an incentive to drag yourself out the first person to say the names of the Banana Splits as said in the Banana Splits song, ie:
                                             "Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork"

    will be able to choose two free art catalogues of his/her choice. Come on, it couldn't be simpler. See you soon, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Jan 17th

   Happy New Year everyone! Time to get back into the swing of things as I've got so much stuff to sell on the stall. Auctionwise, there isn't much on at the moment apart from next week's annual Ski Sale at Christie's South Kensington which has lots of posters in it.

   I've loads of cigar boxes and I'll have some nice wine boxes as well. I got around 40 a couple of weeks ago so I'm keen to offload them.

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

             "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

   It's a quote from Henry David Thoreau's Walden which ought to be on everyone's bookshelf. Come on down or you wont know what you're missing. Andrew.

Bookstall is NOT on today 20th Dec BUT...

   Look, you shouldn't rely on me doing what I say I will when I say I will. Hopefully I can drag myself down to the market this week after last week's no-show. It's nearer Saturnalia after all. Everything in last week's post applies again. Feel free to chastise me for my unreliability. If you can't make it down, see you all in January. Andrew.

Bookstall is NOT on today Dec 13th BUT...

   All is not lost. Although I'm not doing the stall today (the competition for stalls is too fierce at this time of year and, let's face it, my books aren't really Christmassy) I'll still be around using the market's wifi.

   The free box will be stocked with fresh stuff as I want to have a bit of a clear out. Lots to offload, so come on down, I'm here to be exploited! Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Dec 6th

   Well, the forecast looks to be the best we've had in weeks. There's no excuse not to come down to the stall and stock up on some reading material for over the Christmas period. Make a New Year's resolution to get some drawing pencils and have a go yourself. You've got to be better than Tracey Emin.
 
   This may be the last time I do the stall this year as spaces are at a premium for the next couple of weeks. We are back on January 10th. As an incentive to drag yourself away from Wheeler Dealers on Quest TV, EVERYONE who comes down to the stall and says the following will get one or two free catalogues:
                       "Oi, where's my Christmas treat?"

    I expect to see you all. Andrew.

    P.S. If you go to www.questtv.co.uk you can watch the shows On Demand.

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.

Bookstall is on today Nov 1st

  There might be a bit of pesky rain in the morning, but hopefully we'll get most of the day in. Yet more new books on contemporary art, design and photography, as well as more catalogues for forthcoming sales.

I'm back!

   Actually, I didn't go away I'm just lazy. I've bought myself an iPad Air so hopefully I'll do more on here.

Bookstall is NOT on today 1st February

   I know the sun is shining and I should be doing the stall, but this week has taken too much out of me on the bike. Hopefully I'll be back next week when things have had a chance to dry out.

  I could go on about how useless I am, but you've heard it all before on more than one occasion, so I wont bother. Let's see if I can do better.

   Everyone likes things for free, I'm certainly no exception. The chaps over at Fingertips Music (here) search out free and legal .mp3s and make them available to the likes of you and me. Here's a link to Phosphorescent's The Mermaid Parade from 2010.

   Parakeet update: I've seen a mob of about twenty parakeets three times this week as I've been cycling home. They fly over Oliver Road in Leyton, just along from Orient's ground around eight o'clock. 

Bookstall is on today July 13th

   Well, I think seven months off after that result in December is long enough. Let's get this thing rolling again. I'm going to be adding things on here that I've collected - mainly pre-1950 New Zealand sports memorabilia - though the days of spending £600 on an item are long gone. I've been reduced to picking up bits and pieces on eBay but c'est la vie. On with the show. Andrew.

Bookstall is on today, Dec 1st

Well, so much for getting this thing on the go again! Hopefully I'll get my A into G and start doing things again. There's been lots of things I should've posted about, but I've just been useless. I'll try to cover some of them after the fact.

   Anyway, for the first time in about six weeks I'll be doing the stall today. The weather has just been lousy each Saturday previously. Consequently I've built up a lot of stuff and I'm drowning in it, so I'm keen to get rid of lots of books. There are a number of wine boxes and dozens of cigar boxes. Christmas is coming so come on down to the Market to find a stocking filler.

   As an incentive, the first person to repeat the following phrase will get a couple of catalogues for free.

   Come to the park, buy books on art. Andrew.

Bookstall is on today Aug 4th

   As an incentive, the first person to repeat the following phrase will be entitled to choose 2 free catalogues off the stall:

                       "Tweeters have smaller brains."

   Am I the only person who is completely fed up with hearing inane tweets on every BBC news programme? Nothing of any importance is ever said. It makes ya wanna go postal. Andrew.

Bookstall is on today July 28th

   I may be running a bit late as I was watching the Opening Ceremony last night and am a bit behind getting ready. The sky is cloudy but I don't think any rain is forecast. I've many new things this week and also 7 wine boxes (3 large, 4 small) but they wont last long so be quick.

   As an incentive, the first person to repeat the following phrase will be entitled to choose 2 free catalogues off the stall:

2012 Olympic logo - Antipodean designer?

   Last year there was a threat of an Iranian boycott of the Olympic Games due to the choice of the Olympic logo, in that if you rotated and re-arranged the numbers it would be possible to spell 'ZION'. This is quite plainly ridiculous.

   No, it is perfectly obvious that the designer at Wolf Olins was from, or had a close affinity to, the Antipodes. Either that or the Games organisers sought to harness a little of our sporting prowess to empower the athletes from Great Britain and other nations. What other reason could there be for stylised maps of both New Zealand and Australia appearing on the logo?

Map of Nu Zild a.k.a. Godzone

Number One

Map of Straya

The Big Fat Zero

 Completely evident isn't it! Now, whenever you look the Olympic logo you will not be able to see anything other than little old Enzed and that other island.

Bookstall is NOT on today April 21st

   I know that it is sunny outside, but I have to make a decision on Wednesday as to whether or not to do the stall or not. The forecast was for rain from lunchtime onwards, so I decided to put my feet up this weekend. I'll probably do a raindance a little later to try to make me feel better. Hopefully the weather will be a bit more settled next week. Andrew.
