some other hidden treasures i found in a second hand bookstore (to be precise: in "the english bookshop" on the ajuinlei in ghent, i can reccommend this shop to anyone looking for second hand literature, art books or like me, pretty books ) for only 50 cents!
that's what i love about finding these little books: they're all so pretty and really cheap too.

anyway; both the booklets are guides to a museum or to a park. the guide to Osterley Park is my favorite, 'cause of the faded blue color and the simple, yet stylish typography. i bought the other guide for it's odd color combination and the drawing of the canon going all the way to the back of the booklet... picture time!

  3. Oh I just love that store! I have its business card lying here, the shopkeepers name is Godfrey Mason, it's so English I just love it. Bought a ton of books there the first time I went, haven't been able to go back but will do the next time I visit Ghent!
