Don't do this much, but

Is that a complete set of Stevenson's letters I can see in the fifth picture down?

Amongst the old brown spines, yes!

That is just fantastic! It is making me strangely tense that I cannot browse the books, I want to be a tiny little person and go in and look at the spines.

Amazing! I loved the record shop one too. Are you going to end up with a fantasy high street, featuring only the coolest shops?

irl, that bookstore would have three times as many shelves all reaching to the ceiling, much narrower aisles, several large piles of books heaped on the floor, and lots more dust. but it is fun to make stuff like that.

Very nice.
In my mind I am singing the thread title to the tune of Jonathan Richman's "Cruddy Little Chewing Gum Wrapper."

I'm thinking it's going to be a 2nd-hand store regular!

I'm tempted, but my wife is already giving me looks after making these 2: the 'where the hell will we put all these things' look she also gets when new books come in the post...

James, I hope Ballardian has been notified of your efforts, this is some kind of "Manhole 69" stuff going on
