John Bus Pass Poets – PS World People It would be nice to buy, followed by a visit in the Spring to see the London sites. Soon it will be party time in London make it a ……… humdinger
Congratulations GA. Just wish I could be at the book launch. Took the liberty of sharing with my Facebook group The Jewish East End of London.
Would love to come to book launch and buy copy of book to have signed there. Do we have to book tickets or just turn up?
Many thanks.
All are welcome – just turn up!
These are just wonderful. They say so much more than a photograph
I have a copy of John Allin painting shown on this page. The more I look at it think that the character in the foreground wearing the standard overalls of a Market Porter and pushing a barrow is my late father. He work in Spitalfields Market all his life. I will be there on the 10th.
I’ve seen a copy of the book & am ordering 10 copies for friends. It’s the best book on the art of the East End for 50 years ….
Just a quick note to say thank you GA, I received my copy of East End Vernacular today and it is marvelous!
