I recently discovered this old junk shop on Hornsey High Street. Its a bit disguised as an 'antiques store' so I'd never been in, assuming it was all going to be frightfully expensive. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that out the back, behind all of this stuff from old peoples houses there is a fairly large outdoor space full of old books on tables, and other amusing things. Sadly left to rot a bit.. a lot of the books were beautiful but terribly rain damaged. Bit of a waste...
Oh and this guy.
The genius of shooting on film and leaving films ages before processing them is you forget about gems like this.
I really miss the date stamps at libraries. Everything's electronic now. My favorite thing is to find used books from libraries with all the dates and names in them.
