Cousin Kevin (The Repairman Cometh) thought he'd had one too many when he spotted the door of this lovely book shop in Canterbury. He might have, of course, but in terms of the door it was just age taking its toll on the former Old King's School Shop, which was founded so many years ago everyone's forgotten exactly when. If you look closely, it says "circa" 1647 above the door!Doesn't this look like a great spot for a book signing?

I was ready to immediately hit re-load on this page when I saw the crooked door! It would be a PERFECT place for a book signing!
I've been to Canterbuy and I never saw this. So disappointed - I would have loved it. Thanks for posting this. If I ever get back to Canterbury I will seek it out.
Oh, I LOVE it!
Reminds me of the nursery rhyme about the crooked man...I can't remember the whole thing, but something about "..he bought a crooked cat, who caught a crooked mouse and they all lived together in a little crooked house".
Is there any way to have a booksigning there? It's perfect! (I'd probably start leaning, too, if I looked at it too long...)
A door with a mind of its own, a door with a sense of humor, a door a bit off-center: And behind it me signing my book about my (mis)adventures living the curly life abroad.
I can dream.
Wow! How amazing is that! This is one of my favorite things about traveling through England - the sheer age of some of the things.
What a lovely door.
