It’s #NationalBookLoversDay
Putting aside the attractions of Egyptian hieroglyphs and the subject matter, this book FEELS gorgeous. The hieroglyphs are smooth and shiny, just like a ‘normal’ book cover. But the scroll is textured and rough and… well… scroll-like. Yes I want to read the book but, to be honest, I mostly want to stroke it!

Thank goodness my friend spotted that bookshop on Saturday!
