Bookmongers


Weekend visit to one of my favourite OOP bookshops - Bookmongers on Coldharbour Lane. The photograph of the shop is from the receipt/postcard I was given. It still looks exactly the same - all books are very reasonably priced, rare books behind the counter and bargain books for 50pence at back of the shop.

I fell for this OOP museum catalogue. Loved the cover and title. Inside are wonderful images of 1930s spoons, terrines, art deco vases (particularly liked the vase with image of woman blowing trumpet at another woman's back) and furniture of that period.
