I won a competition on twitter a couple of weeks ago, and the prize was two tickets to the Vintage Day taking place at Foyles in London this month. Then the event was postponed and they offered me five Vintage Classics of my choice instead. They arrived this morning. It’s a good job my housemate opened the door to the delivery man because I was rather excited and may have acted inappropriately towards him.
The cover deisgns are pretty cool, aren’t they? Especially the Bulgarov one with a giant cat and the moon and a little teeny tiny pig with wings. Apparently NASA are bombing the moon today so perhaps this cover will be worth thousands in the future. Do you think the whole world’ll start spinning wildly out of orbit and we’ll all fall over and feel sick? That would be super-weird.
I also got America by Kafka but that’s got an old-style cover so doesn’t look quite so nice. Didn’t want to spoil the photo with it.
