Lovely set of The Nature Printed British Sea-weed Lovely set of The Nature Printed British Sea-weed by Johnstone and Croall  came in for a bit of TLC.  #blackcatbindery These volumes are The earliest form of non-adhesive (*perfect) binding, invented in 1836 by William Hancock. Spines were coated with flexible rubber solution (gutta-percha), after cutting off the folds, which set and held the book together.

Original painting for Angela Carter’s Virago Boo Original painting for Angela Carter’s Virago Book of Fairytales. Painted by Corinna Sargood.  Virago says…….Once upon a time fairy tales weren’t meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter’s Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia – and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. 

This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts. #virago #angelacarter #bookillustration #bookillustrations #corinnasargood
