The vehicle, incidentally, is a rare 1959 all steel Morris Oxford Traveller, as opposed to the ash framed jobs more familiar on the Minor Traveller. I shall be doing a post on it shortly.Peter Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027878122724846472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-18086499351851619352014-05-16T10:42:29.897+01:002014-05-16T10:42:29.897+01:00What a perfect job for you; actually its not a &#...What a perfect job for you; actually its not a 'job' is it, but a literary revelment!<br /><br />I've always been a fan of Shire Books and they're well represented on the VK bookshelves; the last one I brought was 'Old Radio Sets'. I shall certainly be putting the Blitz and British Family Cars on my book list.<br /><br />P.S. I'm currently writing a book for their sister company, Old House.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-63541160489829034902014-05-15T16:02:54.528+01:002014-05-15T16:02:54.528+01:00Stunning stuff.

Ideally of course they should be hung up with bulldog clips in angled ranks against the varnished teak of WH Smith platform bookshops at railway stations.Peter Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027878122724846472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-85512841964354445052014-05-13T21:06:59.796+01:002014-05-13T21:06:59.796+01:00Wow, they look fantastic!

I love Shire books, sometimes I'm astounded by just how esoteric some of the titles are and incredibly glad that someone is making books about garden cities and very specific eras of gardening. <br /><br />Can't wait to see these in an English Heritage gift shop or cathedral bookshop in the near future.Adam Smithhttp://commonorgarden.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
