Glorious Gorey




Edward Gorey: The New Poster Book The Doubtful Guest, Amy and Basil Gashlycrumb, Dracula and Lucy, Jumblies, the Great Veiled Bear—this curious cast of characters joins a slew of other peculiar people and beasts in this big beauty of a book. Thirty large-format reproductions display Edward Gorey's signature crosshatched drawings, elegant watercolors, and endless wit—all perfect for framing, or to treasure as a collection.

This is a brand-new publication, not a remake of Gorey Posters(Abrams, 1979), now long out of print. With eighteen images in full color, Edward Gorey: The New Poster Book presents a refreshing and engaging survey of the genius of this beloved artist.

Creator of more than one hundred works, Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was also a playwright, an award-winning set and costume designer, and the creator of the animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery!


By Edward Gorey. 64 pages with 30 large-format reproductions, 18 in color. Size: 10 1/4 x 15 in. Smyth-sewn paperbound book. ISBN 978-0-7649-5147-3

Pom Shop of the Month THE TOKENHOUSE


We are pleased to launch our gallery of Pom Shops of the Month starting with The Tokenhouse in Nottingham.

The Tokenhouse have supported the Pomegranate list for many years and say:-

"We think Pomegranate products fill a gap in the market, particularly the Leather Journals and Knowledge Cards. They make good presents for men. The calendars have a strong following, Waterhouse, Forgotten English and now England By Rail which evokes great nostalgia. With their range of calendars it is often possible to tie in with local museum exhibitions."

The Tokenhouse, one of England's few remaining privately owned gift shops!
They are not part of a group or chain - they are independent, creative and constantly changing.
Situated in Nottingham's historic Bridlesmith Gate, they have traded successfully for over 37 years. Theye stock a wide and exciting range of original gifts, cards, jewellery, pottery and cosmetics.
The items offered on this site are only a fraction of what they carry in the shop!

THE BEST CARD SELECTION IN NOTTINGHAM!

At the Tokenhouse they have an amazing selection of greetings cards from dozens of specialist UK suppliers. If you can't find what you're looking for we'll be amazed!

Weddings, anniversaries, sympathy, new home, new job, retiring, new baby, christening, acceptance, graduation, exam success, every birthday, and thousands of blank cards in a multitude of designs and styles.
