I liked this video blog with street sellers a plenty with the all moving cigarette cards, clever tech stuff. This site is an important shop window (seen around the world) for London based Orgs and talented artistic people, many with outstanding merit. Not sure if any have been recommended for a national award such as an MBE. John
Glad you are still getting interest in the book. It is a fascinating collection that certainly made me re-think my previous indifference to the topic!
The book is marvelous.
So I gifted my copy to my Swiss brother-in-law, deep down a Londoner, and within the next few days he will gift to his sister-in-law, a resident of London – the cycle re-started 🙂
