No Nightingales and The Revolt of the Angels
Following seeing this post the other day regarding the existence of a book called "No Nightingales" about a pair of ghosts living in a house at Berkeley Square, as well as a revelation in the reblogs which says Neil Gaiman is a fan of the authors, I had to get myself a copy.
Unfortunately (no doubt due to a number of people having the same reaction!) there are no longer any copies on ebay, but I wanted to share these pictures of mine. It's clearly ex library, it has beautiful endpapers and I love it without even having started to read it!
I will make another post once I have read it regarding any plot points which may have significance for S3 😁
If you also want to read it I believe there are online library copies, and I think someone may have even posted scanned pages into one of the reblogs on the post I've linked above.
EDIT: @fuckyeahgoodomens just shared a link to read this book here
Also this one, which I posted about the other day. No direct impact upon GO that I know of, other than being about the Angelic war between Heaven and Hell. The William Blake painting on the cover of this edition is a bonus, its The Angel of Revelation.
Again, I'll make another post when I've finished it if there is anything of significance!
20 pages in, and I can tell you it also involves a library, and a librarian who hates people borrowing books. Sounds familiar...

This is literally the most beautiful book I have ever owned and this is the Etsy shop I got it from💖

Edmond Malassis, Illustrations for Théodore de Banville's play "Gringoire", 1904.
Unfortunately the book is rare and I've only been able to find images on auction sites so far.
