      A friend just bought me a William Gibson Trilogy (Pattern Recognition, Zero History and Spook Country). Looking forward to giving them a try as they come so highly recommended and seem so relevant to the things we all love.

      Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

              They're pretty easy to find over here, but when you do, they re lots and lots of $$$$$'s

                  I paid £100 for it new, that was why it was so difficult to get! Remember when it was sixty quid on amazon :-(. Went in the maha shop but hardy is refusing to sell them directly now 😞 local shop in Kingston still had a few copies in their warehouse! There is still one left as far as I know if anyone is interested but I was told that there is some damage to the cover. If so let me know and I will go in to the shop and have a chat with them and pick it up. Really great book!!!!

                              Silk covered book from Japan. Granddad gave this to me. It was written for western tourists in the mid-1930s and details a number of different aspects of Japanese culture. It is bound by the teeth of some sea animal, can't recall what. The pages are vellum-like and folded over rather than single sheets.

                              Another one from granddad, this by Nissan as a goodwill gift for a town in the US where they were building a factory.

                              I'm having difficulty trying to find my favorite, a volume of woodblock prints. Will post when I find it.

                              Think it, be it.

                                        Have the same book here at home. They were on sale until last week here in Ghent… Giles (or anyone else here for that matter), if you want one I can check if they have some left? Shops gone now but I have contact details.
