The Trial by Franz Kafka
(I bought this 1968 copy because it was published in the my year of birth and it has a wonderful woodcut illustration by Lotte Prechner)
The Chrysalids by John Wyndham
Still Life by A.S. Byatt
William Shakespeare by Bill Bryson
and I have also reviewed Photography by John Ingledew
to inform the 2nd Edition for Laurence King Publishers
Oooh that’s good. It really does go with the book. I’m jealous. The colours, style, everything.
Mmm, it’s great isn’t it? I am quite taken with these old books – they make for a much more fulfilling experience when they have character and style. I bought this for a couple of quid from eBay – you can get anything like it from the high street!
Love Bill Bryson books! have you read notes from a small island?
Hi James, yes I have – I think that I’ve read all his books, and if you like ‘Small Island’ you should also read ‘Lost Continent’ and ‘Down Under’ too. Althougyh I think my favourite has to be ‘A Walk in the Woods…’
Keep on readin’ on!
