November reading, and some intentions

The month has seen very little reading of entire books, and what there was is unashamedly escapist "comfort" reading, borrowed from the library -

In another library - the paleography and book history library in Senate House, on the way to a talk in a back room - I saw this on the recent acquisitions display but didn't have time to even glance inside - "an illustrated history of books in paint" -

These two are also on my wish list, seen in the Horniman's Lore of the Land exhibition -

Bookstores and charity shops have provided more fodder for the bookshelves -

Strangely, I have neither purchased nor lusted after any textile, pottery, craft, or even art books for some time now. Well, maybe a few art books ...
