No I made it as a gift for someone (who loved it). I recently got some wool in exactly the right colour, so I guess I’ll make another.
That one was quite a pleasure to work on. I did the typesetting on it.
My other half bought the Wes Anderson in a charity shop recently. Very pleasing to get it so cheap.
Why, is it worth a lot?
It’s a danger to let myself walk into the big branch of Foyles on Charing Cross Rd.
A right Sackville-Baggins move to sell that though
I approve of this incredibly nerdy post.
my dad nicked his from his school library (it has a big stamp on it) when he was like 13. It’s not immaculate and I am doubtful it’s the first edition. It’s a very lovely book tho it’s my dads favourite book.
Love this
Great thread!
Got this nice edition of Norwegian Wood. Signed by the big man himself.
Bought this copy of The Master and Margarita for my wife as it’s her favourite novel.
Also, this edition of The Big Sleep.
Which one? Who are you??
I used to work at a company that designed and typeset books, mostly fiction but also some non fiction. Barely Imagined Beings was one that I worked on at that time.
That Murakami is lovely. I had a couple signed by him. Sold one, and sent another to an artist I kind of know. He was stoked.
Just ordered this…
I’ve got that Norwegian wood, not got the signed bit though
What a lovely thread, but it’s making me think of this:
Here are some of my favs from our shelves, a few have come up already before
That Big Penis Japanese Joinery book looks really satisfying.
found this at the church bazaar last week. so happy with it for 1 euro
And less than three years later, I’ve finally started reading it…
Let me know your thoughts. I think it’s brilliant.
