Pub books

I always feel that it is a sorry end for a book to find itself on a shelf in a pub. There just for decoration, ignored by the chattering drinkers and the anti-social networkers who spend all evening ignoring the people they are out with while they text people who are somewhere else.

All those words unread, unheeded and gathering dust.

Agreed. You can buy these old books by the meter to fill up shelfs for decoration. Shame. Nice shot.

lovely shot - I suppose that at least they aren't being pulped or put into landfill

[Pat Knowles]

They do look very nice here but I know what you mean, sad but a very nice accessory to a cosy look.

One day someone will find a treasure in there :) terrific capture!

Perhaps you're right, but it also makes me think of a quiet pint and a good read. Maybe that doesn't happen much, though. Good image.
