And here's one that predates the USA

I can recommend any of these. I'm also working my way through their catalogue. I also love the simplicity (and durability!) of the covers - apparently based on 19th Century French covers.

It's not often BBC News gets things right these days, but this seems like a reasonable answer to the question.

Punctuation is so important in public discourse. Is this a giant picnic for Teddy Bears? Or, possibly, a picnic for Giant Teddy Bears? Tomorrow will tell. Also, I could find no evidence of a Teddy Bears Parade in Dulwich. And I hope the occupants of #12 are aware of the fun run tomorrow at 4!

Amazing how the addition of a couple of football goalposts improves an otherwise boring picture of a muddy pool in a park.

Does it count if you bump into a little guy like this while lunching?

Robin in a cafe/bar next to the South Circular Road in Dulwich, London. Seems to live there - and who can blame him? Fabulous crumbs, sweet and savoury. And quality conversation!

Dulwich Park pond this morning looking very abstract!

This is in a South London park. Can anyone help explain it?

Moonrise over Dulwich Park yesterday afternoon. I'm particularly proud of the Turner-esque additions of the figures in red at the bottom left of the picture.

Moonrise over Dulwich Park yesterday afternoon. The tree line is silhouetted against a pink, cloudy skyAt the bottom left of the picture are two figures walking a dog. The humans are wearing red which, I think, gives the picture a feel of JMW Turner.

I love walking along the South Bank when the Thames is low. It's like having a visual history of London from the 16th Century to the 21st via the 17th.

Friday's art day! Today was the Tate Modern for Electric Dreams. I think this is very electric.

Sometimes, looking down can be more interesting than looking up.

The reflection of a winter tree on the opposite bank of a stream, bare of leaves, with autumn leaves still clinging to the overhanging branches of trees on the near bank.

Grabbed this pic on a morning (well, late morning!) walk in a local park. For some reason, it reminded me of Allen Ginsberg's Howl.

An autumn/winter scene in a South London park. The remains of tree that has been heavily cut back. The remains are very sculptural in appearance.

Fridays are art days, but we didn't expect to find two pieces of the Berlin Wall in the middle of Lewisham Shopping Centre. The last time we saw an unexpected Stik was in the Amsterdam Moco gallery.

As tomorrow is Friday, POETS day, here's a poem by ee cummings and almost the last leaf on the black mulberry in Dulwich Gallery.

Dawn over SE London. Rather gorgeous, and also vaguely threatening?

Shot this through a glass roof at Dulwich Gallery earlier today. I love the fact it looks b/w but isn't!

Another good Tokarczuk title! Really looking forward to this one.

Fitzcarraldo publishes some of the best world literature - and always in these plain covers, white text on blue for fiction, the non-fiction is reversed. Here's another great title!

Some walls are built to exclude. Some are built to intrigue and invite. This temporary structure has appeared in the garden of Dulwich Gallery recently. It conceals the work for the new sculpture garden, another wonderful addition to a fabulous space.

A temporary wall telling the history of Dulwich Gallery.

Another part of the temporary wall. It shows some of the paintings in Dulwich Gallery's collection. There are, intriguingly, two blanks for windows to be placed.

I've just joined, currently in the process of divorcing X. I've noticed the same thing. This is the pond at Charleston, the home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. The most UK photo I've taken recently!

If anyone fancies some non-fiction, I can recommend these. Their fiction list is pretty impressive, too!

All from the independent South London based publisher Fitzcarraldo Editions.
