An Interesting Week



I think it's fair to say this week has been quite interesting.

Not only did I turn 50, but I found and ordered something which has proved elusive for some time.

Some time ago I posted pictures from a magazine called Bizarre Nostalgia.

The magazine clearly marked Part 1 Volume 4 Number 4. The intimation that there might be a Part 2 sparked my search. I found a listing for the missing Part 2 on an american website but they refused to give me any details on the Magazine which was extremely frustrating.

The first part featured many pictures from days gone by, many of which originated from London Life, the old pre war magazine, which had contributions from Bottier.

I'm pleased to report that I have finally found a copy of the missing volume and bought it. From the look of it there are quite a few images I havent seen before which looks extremely encouraging. Once I receive the magazine I will endeavour to scan it and will try and post some of the interesting bits for you to see.

See keep watching this space !!

First: Happy birthday to this special day! Second: You could not make yourself any better present than that magascene I bet. I am very curious too. Bought it from biblio.com?

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Yes I suppose to find something so rare for a rare occasion seems fitting. I bought it from Delectus Books. Cost was £25. Worth every penny..trust me!

Nice! I am very curious!
I just bought another one called "Bizarre Nostalgia" coming from a german publisher. It should contain only excerpts from London Life. Let's see what will be in there. ;o)
