Petersfield is a wonder. The way it unfolds. I saw a full folio copy of Dante's Divine Comedy with Doré's woodcuts in there for £80... three decades ago? I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy it.


Same here for a bookshop in Brisbane with pugin architectural drawings, and a bookshop in York which had Mervyn Peake original pencil drawing of his son for £300 in 1981


Damn. A reputed Mervyn Peake life drawing sold at auction in the UK in the past few weeks and I was severely tempted. No spare pennies unfortunately.

It sounds like you and I have very similar tastes. I've been amusing myself recently by asking AIs to draw Gormenghast. None of them get the scale.
