I buy books. Some would say a lot. I buy them off and on. Spurts. I collect. I will be scanning this book for my IG account when I do decide to turn the lights on again. Friends of Dorothy by William Yang. Great book. OOP. The last photo - ‘The Clones’. Ha. HNY. 🎉

Diary of an Ice Cream Van Man. Mr Russell Watkyn, who worked for Lyons Maid Ice Cream Company (1950-1985) took photos of the men he’d meet on his route. He’d document his work in a collection of 28 photo albums. Here are two that I was allowed to take pictures of. Courtesy Bishopsgate Institute.

I collect Honcho magazine so I ordered a large archival plexiglass magazine display box from Gresswell, a specialist archive/library supplier. I added an extra to my work order. I’m an archivist by day. This issue is May 1994 and was my introduction to the publication.

London is VERY warm. I can’t remember which book I scanned these from and if I ever remember I will delete and repost. These two scans were originally deleted by Instagram back in the day.
