Queen were filming the video to Bicycle Race (funnily enough a double A side release with Fat Bottomed Girls) which as well as including studio footage of the band includes shots of about 50 entirely naked women riding push bikes around a race track! For those who don't believe me the remastered video can be seen on the DVD release of Queen's Greatest Video Hits 1 (or probably YouTube).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-56966714320469682022012-06-21T01:55:01.555+01:002012-06-21T01:55:01.555+01:00What wonderful book plates!

One of my favourites is a fairly frequently used one with an illustration of a little 18th century man standing on a ladder, with books under his arms, and between his knees and yet another book open in his hands.<br /><br />I love your book plate too. What a great quote, and so true. So many times books have almost leapt off the shelves and contained just the idea or information I most needed at the time. Serendipity is one of the reasons I like actual books and book stores better than electronic ones.

I was looking at his books and rhetorically (as I thought) asked if he minded. He objected most strenuously saying that one could learn far too much about a person from his or her books.<br /><br />I feel quite tame just putting a little elephant stamp in my books (or a Kiwi in those I buy in New Zealand). There's a disadvantage of a Kindle. You can't put a bookmark inside the book.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-57356545989379252612012-06-20T10:16:43.197+01:002012-06-20T10:16:43.197+01:00I think books must choose us.
