This recent shot of a 1920s Dutch barge seemed an ideal subject for a spot of vintage editing. Word on the Water is one of my favourite London bookshops, floating in a convenient location close to Kings Cross Station and furnished with a good range of new and secondhand books. I enjoyed my rummaging and came home with a book that I’ve not read before, by one of my favourite Russian authors, Mikhail Bulgakov.

What a fun book store! I’d love going there and rummaging around. I actually remember reading a book not too long ago that had a floating book store in the main story…can’t remember which one…

It’s a wonderful picture. And I did not know that place. A bookshop in a barge. I like the idea. We don’t have that in paris, yet. Have a nice weekend
