For the love of books, please don't put clear sleeves on your books' dust jackets without wiping off the dust and the sticker residue 😩

Wipe the book gently with 70% rubbing alcohol if the cover is glossy, or dust thoroughly if it has a papery finish.

Otherwise you're basically begging for foxing.

I'm anti-cake pop as a rule, but have no hesitation in making an exception for Cake Pop Demon Hunters.

Maybe some kind of KebAbby Saja cake skewers could work, too.

Couch potato skins.

Damnit, where's *my* 8 year old KPDH fan to party plan for.

An 1951 card folder giving details of the Odeon & Gaumont #cinema circuits in #London; fascinating to see the number of just their 'theatres' as there were many other chains & independents. The London West End map appears to use Monopoly symbols for main line stations!

A rather fine 1951 map folder, in the style of the Tube map and intended for a wallet or pocket, giving details of the London "Odeon" and "Gaumont" cinemas in the London area along with their various release programmes. It shows the sheer scale of the number of London cinemas - or picture theatres as the owners would have preferred us to call them - at the time as these were just two of the large chains alongside still independently owned cinemas. The early 1950s were amongst the boom years for British cinemas and before the widespread availability of television cut the bottom out of the market. The list covers north west, north east and south London for both Odeon and Gaumont cinemas along with others that although part of the chain had retained earlier names such as the Plaza, the Walpole, the Regal, the Majestic, the Astoria, the Hippodrome, the Palladium, the Grand, the Regent, the Pavilion, the Dominion and the Trocadero. The list also notes which theatres had restaurants and car parking. Guide to London's Odeon & Gaumont screen entertainment : 1951 Festival of Britain : publicity map folder : 1951 : inner fold - map of Central London showing Odeon & Gaumont theatres. a map of the central area of London and the West End showing the locations of cinemas, tube stations and other major landmarks. I like the fact that main line railway termini are shown by almost Monopoly style symbols. The map is on an ochre background with Waterloo just on the southern edge, the loop of the Thames in blue above it, Hyde Park to the west, St Paul's to the east (alongside the reference key) and Euston Road to the north.

Sorry to read of the death of Jean Marsh, a sharp and striking actress, who pretty much cornered the market when it came to playing high fantasy wicked queen types in the cinema of my '80s childhood.
Animated GIF of Jean Marsh in the role of Nurse Wilson in the feature film Return To Oz (1985). She wears a severe black late-Victorian blouse with high neck and higher puffed shoulders, and tilts her head to one side as she glances off and half smiles. A close up of actress Jean Marsh's face as it appears while in the character of Princess Mombi in the 1985 movie Return To Oz. A close up of Jean Marsh playing the wicked Queen Bavmorda in the feature film Willow (1988). She wears a heavy crown of blackened metal over her white wimple, and looks into the middle distance with narrowed eyes and curled lip. A half length portrait of Jean Marsh playing the wicked Queen Bavmorda in the feature film Willow (1988). She wears a black cloak and a black veil with a heavy helmet-like crown of blackened metal in jagged points over her white wimple, and looks away off centre with a severe, calculating expression.

Went for a walk the other day; found a new band name AND the sleeve art for our first release.
75% of this square photo is blue sky; in the lower left section a bright pink sign reads 'Supercar Hangout' in white lettering.

Small cry because @laurenlaverne.bsky.social says there's a new Pulp album coming, and oh Lordy. They're everything.

Remembering the time my Dad - seeing my sister's Lipgloss cassette single on the family hi-fi's tape deck - proudly thought he'd raised a 13 YO Philip Glass fan.

Detail of the inlay for a cassette single copy of Pulp's 1993 single Lipgloss. The words PULP and LIPGLOSS are both capitalised and in the same type, and run on together with no spacing.

Bought these on a whim; enjoying how much they look like tiny brains.
A hand holds a plastic package of Bodrum brand Sugared Chickpeas. An individual sugared chickpea sits in my palm. Its sugary coating is white and wiggly in pattern, which - in combination with the fissure dividing the legume into two hemispheres - makes it look a bit like a tiny human brain.
