The Dover book shop will be closing in March. The Dover Bookshop has been a huge source
of inspiration to many designers specialising in royalty free images and will
be closing after 27-years in Earlham Street.
Julie
Verhoeven, Paul Smith and even Vivienne Westwood have used Dover pictures in
their work. Artist Stanley Donwood also made use of Dover imagery in the title
graphic on the cover of Thom Yorke's album, The Eraser.
It’s hard to
miss with its bright yellow frontage and sign featuring a design donated by the
artist Eduardo Paolozzi, a long-time fan of the shop. A treasure of a shop that is really worth checking out before it disappears.
For now, the
Dover Bookshop is running a closing down sale, with 20% off all Dover titles in
the shop or a 10% discount online (with
free P&P).
Best of luck
to Tim and all his staff at the shop.
The Dover Bookshop is at 18 Earlham
Street, London WC2H 9LG
