[BHE 176] Little Gestalten Books and Book Loot from the SG Book Deal Warehouse Sale (Part 1 of 2)

Myra here.

Every Sunday we are excited to share the books that have found their way into our hands through covert or legitimate means.

Little Gestalten Books

Just this week, I received these books for review from Little Gestalten. And they are absolutely glorious. I can not wait to read them.

Fischer & Labrune The Night Watchman, and The Small World of Paper Toys by Gerard Lo Monaco.

Here are preview pages from the pop-up book The Small World of Paper Toys:

The Night Watchman gave me goosebumps. This seems like a book to embrace in the middle of the night.

See? See what I mean?

Freebies from the SG Book Deal Sale

I have been meaning to share my bookloot with you from the very recent SG Book Deal Warehouse Sale which I announced several weeks back. I was not able to post my loot as I had to leave for Munich the very same evening I got my boxes of books. I only had the chance to sort them when I arrived back here in Singapore during the middle of August, hence this much delayed posting.

I also received a few freebies from the Warehouse Sale. Allow me to post those first.

I am literally in book heaven.

I bought three out of the five boxes. Here are my freebies.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Abridged by Toby Forward and illustrated by Iassen Ghiuselev. When I saw the illustrator, I just know I have to have this book. Here are some of the inside pages of the book:
