This wonderful book entitled The Bookshop by Ken Ferguson is a book celebrating the different people we come across in bookshops and some of the emotions that arise when we come across different books. It's a limited edition (only 200 copies were produced) and signed by the author and illustrator Ken Ferguson. This is 117 of 200.
The 23 illustrations in the book are lino cuts - they were originally hand cut, hand inked and then printed. The production of the book was sponsored by Barter Books in Alnwick and published in 2000.
The book is in excellent condition minimal signs of wear. There is a faint scuff mark to the front. Inside, the pages are clean and bright. The book doesn't appear to have been read or handled much.
Dimensions approximately 26.3cm x 15cm x 1.5cm.
All books purchased will be hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
