Photographer Richard Haugton is beyond the zoom ! I am uncertain how well known he actually is in The U.K. as he has taken thousands of photographs of French food art and French Chefs .. However, he does have a website .. He is best known for his food photography .. I am a grand fan of his work ..
A exceptional coffee table book however, just a brief thumb throught reveals some amazing recipes ..
Have a lovely day ..
Soon lunch time and we shall go to a lovely Vietnamese Restaurant in Vieux Port - Marseille .. It is interesting that there are quite a few top notch Vietnamese Restaurants in Vieux Port or close to (by foot - 5 minutes) ..

So terribly dangerous in book shops !! Could not resist ! The photography is just so so incredibly impacting ..
Have a lovely evening.
Thank you.

Many different items in your household and motor vehicle.

I have a very ancient Sony eReader and an equally ancient Kindle, neither of which are backlit, but at the time smartphones were not common and very expensive. The Kindle does has an internet connection though, so I can borrow books from the Kindle library on it. Books which I buy, or are free, I usually look at on my phones, unless they have lots of photos in them, in which case I look at them on my tablet or my laptop. The two phones come in very handy for audiobooks as well as Kindle books, especially when I'm out and about, as I can slip them in one of my pockets (I very rarely carry a handbag, not round here).

I can't resist bookshops, especially ones that sell secondhand books too. I can lose myself for hours.
I've spent the last couple of days sorting out my hobby room (a bedroom), and trying to make room for more books in my library (another bedroom). It's been about 20 years since either of those rooms contained a bed.

I suppose everything must go digital, but I was saddened to hear that Pears' Cyclopaedia will no longer be published. The very first, rather bizarrely, was published by Pears' Soap in 1897.
In a rare show of academic zeal during my school years, I once received a prize for Latin. The prize was in the form of a book token and I used it to buy a copy of Pears' Cyclopaedia. Sadly, I no longer have the book, but it was put to good use and it's a shame that it won't be around for much longer.

For £2.80, this could be yours: Pears Cyclopaedia 1972-1973

The one I had must have been around that time.
That's what I thought - but if it was that one I would have thought you would recognise the cover.

I can't say that I do. We are, however, talking about 45 years ago and while my memory is able to dredge up certain things, there are limits to its capacity.
Although it's more likely that I'd be able to recall something from 45 years ago rather than 45 minutes.
