Some of my favorite bookstore signs and displays (5 original photos)

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

As you can see from my last post I love books and of course bookstores so I went over my photo archives to compile a selection of some of my favorite bookstore signs and displays spotted along my travels.

Sign in Oamaru, New Zealand


Love the play on words here: "Slightly Foxed books." On lots of secondhand online bookstore sites you can see the word "foxed," which means the book is "discoloured with brown spots." So it is a cute idea to have a fox reading a book on their sign.

Sign in Bergen, Norway


Love the classic font used on the sign and the "leatherbound" feel of an antiquarian book. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to go inside. The town itself is so beautiful and charming.

Sign in Oamaru, New Zealand


A more modern sign that I saw in the Victorian precinct of Oamaru. I love the vibrant colors, which are a sure way to attract customers like me on a rainy day!

Poster in London, England


I think it was in the window of a Waterstones bookstore near Russell Square. I like the words and the adorable child reading intently.

Window display in London, England


The Folio Society, founded in 1947, is famous for producing beautiful book covers, stunning illustrations, and high quality binding. I just read that the store closed in Dec 2016. I am so glad I got to see it before it shut down.

Really? You are actually not showing up on my followers list.

Awesome! I love the slightly foxed pun!

Great. Glad you like it! Quite clever.

Love it! I will have to upload a photo of a sign that I had made for my bookstore years ago. I have it in front of my house now for old times sake...

Yes. Would love to see the sign.

Thanks. I will probably post it in a few days.
