Summer with a good book, somethings just go together don't they.
Over the coming weeks 50 benches in the shape of a book will appear around the city. Decorated by local artists and illustrators, the titles will all have a connection to London.
This the first of the books about town I will show you: "Jeeves and Wooster" the work of artist Gordon Allum. Look for it at the Brunswick shopping centre in Bloomsbury.

This is great!
What a bench, love it!
Very nice to see, although not very comfortable to sit...
I read about this and think it a great idea, look forward to seeing more of them
That is just great. I would love to see them.
A public art project that makes sense.
Can't wait to go out & track these books/benches down.
Very clever! It will be fun to see the different ways they will be decorated.
That's really neat.
Brrrrrilliant! What a fabulous idea Mo.. Looking forward to seeing more.
Love it, Mo! And it is right in my stomping grounds when I am over there.
An unusual bench... I really like it!
This is such a nice project. I have seen numerous cities put on exhibitions like this with animals (West Hartford did cows), but this is the first I have seen with books. I like the idea of books MUCH better. You will have fun tracking down the book benches, and we will have fun looking at your pix of them.
I prefer a soft cover myself! Great idea!!!
