Sniffing Bookshelves!

There are many small (sometimes guilty) pleasures in life, rearranging books in the book shop, having butter AND peanut butter on toast, Gentleman’s Relish straight from the tin, Sniffing books!
It will come as no surprise to you fellow sniffers that one of my MOST guilty pleasures is sniffing other people’s book shelves (I bet you do it too!)

On relocating to Book Sniffer Towers I took the opportunity to do something I have never previously been at liberty to do due to my deep seated book seller heritage, I arranged my book shelf by colour (Shock horror), I think you’ll find the result a wonderful rainbow of picture booky delight.

So here for your delectation and delight are a myriad of bookshelves belonging to some of my absolutely most best beloved authors and illustrators … have a good sniff, you might find something you like! There’s a world of undiscovered gems, old favourites and ones to add to the Christmas list ! ENJOY!
