A Few Graphic Novels In the Bookshop

Habibi by Craig Thompson

Two books here, the biography of Georges Prosper Remi (briefly) starring Andy Warhol!

And Craig Thompson's (no relation to Thomson and Thompson) "Habibi" is a beautiful story about Dodola, an Arab girl, and Zam, a black slave whom she adopts as an infant; interlinking Arabic text to the art of storytelling.

"I have a sort of Christmas-morning sense of the library as a big box full of beautiful books." - Audrey Niffenegger

Another Selection Of Bygone Kents in the Bookshop

"Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,

That we may record our emptiness." - Kahlil Gibran
