The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
Perfect catch, nice one for the theme... The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it... Mine's up hope you can drop by. Have a great weekend!
I love the book spine. The expenses n scandal post..interesting. I find the pagan German video awesome. Hey, yr blog really rocks... and the sardonice grin :)
It was a great theme. Ex Libris is one of my passions. Although I don't belong to the group, I'm always so curious about what people read, that I went everywhere to look at the presentations. Lots of fun! You got the prize, Jams. The spines are classy, and the book cover promises excitement.
Late catching up with photohunt this week. Love the photo of the book spines. The book cover is very intriguing. Great choices for the theme this week.

Wonderful cover art on the book. It reminds me of MC Escher optical illusions.
ReplyDeletei love those....especially the second shot. good job.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful books spines! They don't make them like they used to.
ReplyDeleteSadly, spine art really sort of diminished when dust-jackets came to the fore.
ReplyDeleteI am always on the look-out for books with terrific spines.
Nice book you have there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful examples Jams. I love the historical book spines.
