Here is what I've documented of the fall. Dry leaves skidding stiffly across the pavement in the breeze. A brown and yellow forest seen through a window on a porch, me tucked into warm blankets and sweaters on my chair.
This is what it looks like when you stuff a band and 14 people into a little bookshop. You should have heard the sound as well! Thank you Naked Orchestra for your great music! Listen to some of the music at our facebook page here .
On Saturday September 22nd, the shop will be invaded by Naked Orchestra! Come and enjoy fired up folky drunken tunes at 2:00 pm. Even if it's raining like on this picture from last week, it will be crowded in here! Drinks and sweets will be served from 12:00 pm. Listen at their facebook-page .
Dilbert is my favourite daily comic, nowadays. There's nothing as weirdly funny as office humour. If you're into it as well, come to the shop and look at more Dilbert and funny office related literature.
Pictured is Michail Uljanov, who was a Soviet moviestar. The drawing is made from one of the picture postcards that we sell - vintage postcards from the Soviet Union! (They were purchased in Tbilisi, Georgia, in the spring of 2011.) If you're into film and cinema, for instance we have some books about actors and directors, as well as on how to write scripts for film.
Wild flowers and concrete slabs! That's part of big city life. Our Books is the bookshop with the ambition to offer great litterature along with inspirational and practical books on (city) gardening and do-it-yourself projects, as well as art and handicraft.
We open again on August 8th! Meanwhile, enjoy an example of beautiful book-design. 'The Earth knows my name' contains wisdom from Native Americans concerning planting and growing food. Also, enjoy this picture of the tomato plants we keep in the storefront window. I love the smell which is released when you touch the leaves of the tomato plant. Finally, behold an example of what you can make from a rejected pocket book and some paint. See you soon!
Today's book is a rather gloomy story about an everyman stuck in between the not very accurate diagnosis of his own condition and the condition of Western society.
Here is a seagull on the lookout for chow on S:t Knuts square, just outside the shop. There are three cafés/brasseries facing our square, and a bar/restaurant, along with the antique-shop and florist. And more.
Swedish midsummer has come and gone. Truly a lovely time in the coutryside; in my experience - any type of countryside will do. Today's book: Great book! Great story! TRUE story!
