The message on the blackboard this week: ‘Books take you places - local & afar - & without petrol’ and if you want to make your own electric car, have a look at the 1980 book ‘Electric Vehicles: Design And Build Your Own’ by Michael A. Hackleman #secondhandbookshop
The outside of Daisy Lane Books in Holmfirth. An old stone building on a cobblestone hill above the Main Street. Taken at dusk so the yellow lights shine in the windows. There a little snow on the ground. Not taken by me. Not able to credit.
The brown cover on the spine with title in gold lettering. A mounted figure on a horse . The book is on the left of its cardboard sleeve.
One of the woodblock illustrations inside showing the travellers on horseback and on carts.
Title page of the book with woodblock illustration on the left. The Folio Society London with details on the right.
Pleased with my book purchase yesterday at Daisy Lane Books in Holmfirth.
A very old secondhand bookshops and well worth a visit.
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Folio edition. £6 well spent!

Book Haven’s Blackboard for the last few days has been: ‘Real books don’t die (or feed algorithms!)
There were a few queries about what really is an algorithm - and it did spark an interest in our Maths books! #mathbooks #secondhandbookshop #blackboardsigns
Idea: second hand bookshops work with authors to have a "send 1 euro to the author" tickbox
Like those "add a donation to the red cross" options

Second-hand bookshop at Upton House today. Found a couple of Daisy Dalrymple mysteries that I haven’t read. 🥰

A pile of books on the "Crime Fiction S-Z" shelf in a secondhand bookshop. Most of them are by the same author, Ian Rankin.
Ian Rankin clear out by the looks of it. #SecondhandBookshop
