Brown Paper Package Tied Up With String

April challenged me to make an image based on an event happening this week and she provided a useful link

It's World Book Day tomorrow and for the bookshop I've organised a Lucky Dip/Volunteer's recommendation display. Customers take a brown paper package, tied up with string, and hopefully enjoy the unknown, surprise book they bought.

My challenge here April was the lighting, it's really quite dim in the stockroom! Anyway hope you approve of this, it depicts WBD on the poster I designed and a bit of faffing with Snapseed.


@aecasey here you go April

Thank you all, I help out an afternoon a week, shelving books, sorting donations, pricing and chatting. The shop raises funds for a local grand house's foundation.
Lately I've had the fun job of sending grubby books or books not sold after two years "elsewhere". My criteria is quite loose - do I need to wash my hands after handling it and is it clean (dust mould free clean!) enough I'd read it in bed? Three huge IKEA bags went to book Heaven last week!!
