For #LibraryShelfieDay, here's the book case in our living room. The top two shelves are reserved for the works of Terry Pratchett.

@TheBreadmonkey @DJDarren One of my wife's bookcases plus the Sumo book of David Hockney

@cymruborder @TheBreadmonkey @DJDarren I used to work in the art gallery in Bradford (birthplace of Hockney). About 10 years ago we were selling the sumo book and I so wish I had bought one at the time. Part of my habit at the time was to buy a work from our open exhibitions every year. I don’t have any to put it now mind, but I do like nice things.

@TheBreadmonkey @psymorama @DJDarren It has gone up in price dramatically. This one came from Saltaire. Many years ago Hockney was commissioned to do a drawing for the cover of the BT Bradford Area phone book. I wonder who now has the original

@cymruborder @TheBreadmonkey @DJDarren ahh, I worked at Cartwright Hall. We opened a new Hockney gallery about 8 years ago

@TheBreadmonkey @psymorama @DJDarren I saw a massive Hockney wall at Cartwright hall in 2011 I think.
