This is a kick. I've wanted to write for @PunkRokMomJeans and @NeoText_Films for a long time. My first article is an appreciation of #BuckarooBanzai, one of my favorite films but a damn odd one. neotextreview.com/culture/what-m…

A totally inside #Boston reference here. The late Robert Parker in his Spenser novels would pick actual locations for Spenser to have an office. This third floor office under the turret is where Spenser was located in the 70s novels for a bit.
“Libraries in Kosovo have suffered badly in the pandemic – but bookshops are doing better than ever, especially in sales of feel-good reads. During this pandemic, readers are looking for “something with laughter, a beautiful history and a happy ending.” ow.ly/Pz8R30rovQL
“How far can we go in the rightful defense of our Western values without abandoning them along the way?” - John le Carré (David Cornwell), who told elegant tales, created lasting characters, and asked needed questions Oct 19, 1931 – Dec 12, 2020 Requiescat in pace

Book hunting was for this academician such a serious function that he wore a special costume for the purpose; he could stow away bundles of books in his pockets, which were numerous and as deep as sacks. Octave Uzanne, The Book Hunter in Paris, 1893
#OTD in 1848 (fictional time), a detective in the first mystery novel debuted to tackle a case. Enter Sergeant Cuff The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins <illustrated by William Sharp, 1946 Doubleday edition>
“It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death “A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also ... the life of his epoch and his contemporaries “I know I am talking nonsense, but I’d rather go rambling - Thomas Mann, born #OTD in 1875 #amreading

"The cataloguing of exacting terms is its own delight." That is right. "Dentelles" & "foxing" are words that always give me pleasure. This short film is about the love rare booksellers have for the lexicon of their trade. Anatomy of a Book newyorker.com/culture/video-… via @NewYorker
“People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature ... why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple ... the novel is more true than they are - GK Chesterton, born May 29, 1874 #OTD

One of my favourite images ~ this is what invariably happens when you finally, absolutely resolve to throw out all those old books (Friedrich Frotzel, The Old Bookcase, 1929)
In recognition of the fact that I’ve been known to ramble, I’ll begin by saying that this is an appeal to my fellow antiquarian booksellers. Even if you aren’t in the profession, though, do please spread the word by retwittering or tickle-tocking, or whatever it is you do.
Hello all. There is a late summer haze laid over the South Downs this morning. The whitening sun is just pushing through into the still effervescent foliage of the beach forests. ~~now buy books~~

As it’s #InternationalMuseumDay, let’s again remember probably one of the best ever signs seen in a museum.
conversational hack for you: if trapped in a dialogue with someone deeply unpleasant (and you don't feel safe enough to openly contradict them) simply sigh and say "the world is a strange place nowadays", literally no-one has ever disagreed with that statement
people are always asking us what life is like in a bookstore and I feel it is about time we gave them a serious answer so I made you a story generator
anyway, we don't do many of these a year, and they help us stay open, tweeting (and paying my wages 😬) so if you want to help us out even an RT or a share is genuinely incredibly helpful
