shewhomustThere's some fine street art on this walking tour of Boulogne-sur-Mer (which I don't think was there last time I was in Boulogne, whenever that was): the text is in French, but there are plenty of pictures. I particularly liked the gable end transformed into a bookcase by Dutch artist Jan is De Man - a serial bookcaser, evidently, since his portfolio also shows one in Utrecht. (See, I knew we hadn't seen all Utrecht had to show us).
Meanwhile, In the Book have made a Literary Tube Map of London: that is, they have removed the station names and replaced them with the titles of books set in the vicinity. Think of it as a Work in Progress rather than a finished project: the real fun is to be had in filling in the gaps. There are some fun items: I liked The Canterbury Tales in Southwark, and Mary Poppins at St Paul's. But no Neverwhere, no Rivers of London? Must try harder...
