I was absolutely blown away when the new owners of the Coach & Horses in 178 Stoke Newington High Street contacted me on January 31st to share an incredible discovery. While refurbishing the pub, they uncovered an old wooden wall featuring posters…
Here's some #SuperbOwl action: a San Francisco curiosity from the @ghostsigns blog:

Early twentieth century photos show an Owl Cigars sign in reverse on a huge San Francisco wall. But why was it painted like that?
These late nineteenth century posters have just been revealed during renovations at the Coach & Horses pub in Stoke Newington, but can anyone guess the missing words in the older signwritten letters beneath?

Posters printed by Bowles & Pope, who were at 76 & 47 Leadenhall St in the 1880s/early 1890s. The proprietor of the pub at that time was John Jones.
Is there publishing language that describes the difference between books whose secondhand price increases once out of print, versus those whose price goes down relative to their original cover price?
Currently, Ghost Signs: A London Story is in the former category, with Amazon UK tracking at +40% versus the original cover price, and Amazon USA even more than that.
Fortunately, the @blag shop still has new copies, where it's £25+P&P: https://shop.bl.ag/products/ghost-signs-a-london-story
