Behind the scenes
So many books, so little time, as Frank Zappa apparently said.
Since I am currently in the happy situation of having on my desk an unspent book voucher (alongside an ever-growing list of possible purchases that would see it redeemed many times over) I was tickled when this wood block print by William Sutton popped up on Collection Online.
What an elegant indulgence. If the gallery shop ever decides to print up a set of these as a notepad, I'll be first in line.
On a sidenote: there's quite a bit of bookworming going on in the Collection, if you know where to look.
