HPB, back on 10/9
The four items on the top and the one on the bottom to the farthest left are actually lined journals printed by Flame Tree. Lower middle book is also a Flame Tree publication. There are two more Chiltern publications. Everything is fuqqin shiny and feels embossed... except this edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Someone stop me from buying books. I can't read them that fast....
But I did read this. It nearly made me cry! Now I want all The Dark Tower books.... 🤦🏻♀️
