Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. 50 droll gems bound together on the verso edge starting with what could be considered the title card, “The Snooty Bookshop,” in which the inquiring customer is told by the bookseller behind the cash register, “Yes, we do have a copy of the book you’re looking for. You’ll find it in the ‘Vastly Overrated’ section of the ‘So-Called Classics’ department.” And followed by other observations on the literary life drawn from other collections of the author’s work: “You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack” and “Baking with Kafka.” And ending with a one card “Short Story.” But, before that there’s a diagram of a system that I can see using at home: a color coded diagram entitled “My Library,” which includes the categories of: Read, Intending to read, Half-read, Pretending I’ve Read, Saving for when I have more time, Will never read, Purely for show, Read but can’t remember a single thing about it, and Wish I hadn’t read. Also include are: “Poetry Anthologies for People Who Don't Like Poems” and “Scenes from ‘Mrs Tittlemouse joins the Suffragettes’ by Beatrix Potter” and more. ( ) For those of you who have not come across Tom Gauld before, you are in for a treat with this collection of literary-themed postcard set. In here are 50 of some of his funniest bookish cartoons written with his very distinctive artworks and deadpan humour. To give you a flavour of the quality of his work, have a look at his website and https://www.tomgauld.com/portfolio/ https://www.instagram.com/tomgauld/ I do have a couple of favourites in here, one of which is a guy looking for his kindle, the other is how a book lover packs for their holiday. I have been a fan of Tom Gauld for a while now, cutting out his cartoons from the Guardian Reviews and keeping them so to have some of the best in one collection is great. There is only one problem with this though; it is a book that you will need to buy two of. One to keep and one to send the fantastic postcards from to other book-loving friends. I won't be passing any from this copy on, but some may be getting it as presents. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
