A rare find...

Since Christmas, I've been searching for 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. I've visited a humble little bookshop in Horncastle, during the weekend, which is named 'Jabberwock Bookstore.' 


I managed to buy a unique copy that was published by Dickens House in 1965 and without realising there was a signature and a message inside that says:



'Our short association but a lovely one indeed Lyn.


Cedric Charles Dickens


I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.'



It was signed by Charles Dickens Great-Grandson, Cedric Charles Dickens for a Lyn Pykett. She is the author of 'Charles Dickens Biography' and a Professor and Vice-Chancellor at Aberystwyth; University of Wales.



If anyone could evaluate the price, please let me know. I originally bought it for £5.

Motionpress

Mixed media, digital and custom prints by artist, Olli Wilson. Based on his travels around Italy the four prints on etsy.com display his love for cars and the rich culture in the heart of Modena. He transforms his eagle-eyed photo's into a hand-drawn, high-quality print, worthy to hang on any wall; whether your a car enthusiast, designer, retailer or just regular Joe, like me. He says: "After visiting the Museo Ferrari, I fell even more in love with the prancing horses, truly inspired I just had to sketch this classic into artwork. I wanted to create something others could enjoy, bringing a little bit of automotive heritage into your home... or garage." Within the next few weeks his gallery will have a few more editions: "I'm working hard in the background and will start to add more over the next few weeks. Rome wasn't built in a day you know! I'll be doing a lot more variations than just cars, some of my travels etc... and I'm also available for custom prints, if you have a special place you visit or a beloved pet or car, to be fair anything, just message me and we can go from there." These hand drawn prints are available in A4, A3, A2, and A1 for a excellent price. To find out more visit the Motionpress store - to enquire about custom prints don't hesitate to get in touch with Motionpress. Follow the link - https://goo.gl/S5AT8d
