I suppose they don't fit on a shelf in their boxes either! And I should be pleased that the intent is there to actually look at them rather than just buy and hoard them like I would. (Hi Jo! Nice to see you here! X)
Yes they we're definitely bought to be read. In my day job (nosing around people's houses as an interiors writer) I see a few coffee tables groaning with expensive books that are suspiciously pristine. Yes good to see you here too Katie! I'm a slow adopter to substack but can see myself spending more time here
The GIANT art book covers are crying out to be in an art-themed window display, easel et al.
Ooh good idea! Thank you!!
Have a great weekend!
Go out and buy a couple of Tesco pizzas, pop ‘em in the Rembrandt sleeves and pretend you’ve got a delivery from The Golden Age Pizzeria
haha excellent!
I love your posts.💕 I worked in retail for 14 years, although in a year-round Christmas shop (for 11) and ladies’ clothing (4). Oh, the stories!

Better drowned than duffers!
I'd frame the boxes and put them on ebay!
How strange not to want the sleeves. But I suppose they do render the books unopenable.

Haha! And here I was a horoscope sceptic before this post!!
Thank you so much for unlocking the Lore Segal piece.
You're welcome! Thank you for reading.
Yoo should have a substack competition for the boxes, no?
They're a burden, not a prize!
one man's junk is another man's treasure!
