I dropped by my doctor’s office yesterday for his favourite thing—a mole removal. He just really likes cutting people or something.
Anyway, gory details aside, I couldn’t help but drop in on Verbatim books at 158 Dorp street across the road.
More about the books I actually bought later, but here are some pictures of the gorgeous ones I was happy just to photograph.
Music, movement and the young child by Heather Gell, Australasian Publishing
Sea magic by Cyril W. Beaumont and illustrated by Wyndham Payne
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Four quartets by T.S. Eliot (great typography—and of course it’s nonchalantly propped up by an old typewriter!)
P.S. The illustrations of Sea magic remind me of a copy of Oscar Wilde’s short stories for children that I own… and I’m having a really hard time finding the specific editions of any of these books online so more about that some other time, too.
