SOURCE: Purchased The Hill of Content Bookshop founded by A.H. Spencer in 1922 in Melbourne, Australia. A very interesting history of the bookshop is available to read on the Books & Publishing website, including how the shop got its beautiful, soothing and peaceful name. I love this bookmark from the Hill of Content Bookshop with the quote by A.H. Spencer on one side and the signatures of several famous people who visited the shop over the years, on the other side. The signatures of writers, poets, artists and entertainers from the Visitors Book included on the bookmark are: Sidney Nolan, Barry Humphries, Fred Williams, Patrick White, Louis Armstrong, E. Annie Proulx, Robin Boyd, Seamus Heaney, Jan Morris and Vikram Seth. |
