We have a lot of vintage paperbacks in stock at the moment, including a few Collins White Circle examples, introduced in the 1930s in response to the success of Penguin Books. I’ve always liked the Crime Club design of two hooded figures, here on a 1936 printing, but used with a few tweaks til 1959.

Her mum is a hell of a read. Put in the asylum because she didn't want to marry and lose her social freedom (correct). "The 'Supposed Cause' of her insanity was recorded on the certificates as 'over-education'."

In honour of oceanographer Sylvia Earle’s birthday, we’ve sought out a few lovely secondhand offerings that delve into the sea’s life and mysteries. Chief among these are some works by Rachel Carson, whose writing served as a major inspiration for Earle. Which book would you like to dive into?

Olieverf op board van Egbert Reitsma (1892-1976) voorstellende Jozef, Maria en het kindeke Jezus op de vlucht naar Egypte. Reitsma is natuurlijk vooral bekend om zijn Amsterdamse school architectuur in Groningen, maar heeft ook een aanzienlijk aantal schilderijen geproduceerd. #GroningerPloeg

Geboortedag Dick Bruna (1927-2017), de illustrator die in klare lijnen een universele taal sprak. Nijntje behoort tot het nationaal erfgoed, en in Japan had 'de meester van de eenvoud' een welhaast goddelijke status. Maar laten we ook zijn illustraties voor de Zwarte Beertjes-reeks niet vergeten!
