Midnight launch
There are no spoilers in this post. Please do NOT post spoilers in the comments.
This is me after four hours of work and four glasses of wine, after two hundred people, rampant disorganisation, people queueing around the shop and all the way down the street, hot dogs and Hogwarts hogroasts and the police wandering in to find what on earth was going on.
This is me holding the very last Harry Potter book in my hands, and with no time to read it yet!
These were the boxes as they arrived.
The door, and the posters we made. Possibly we were the only bookshop in the world to have allied with a butcher's for the midnight launch. (All the butcher himself wanted paying was his own book.)
The shop. The aim of the game, bizarrely enough, was to get the balloon over the tube light.
The window, which did look rather nice.
I have always loved this.
The staff, in what costumes they'd managed to muster up.
And why I hate my workmates Quite A Lot.
And that's all you're going to hear from me for a while. I don't have time to start reading until tomorrow night, so I think I shall be absent until about Monday. See you all then.
