Books?

What a delightful shelf of vintage children's books - but is it? This is a poster I picked up in Witney, Oxfordshire, England-at their local hardware store of all places. (I just remembered I also purchased some cool drawer face plates, I'll have to get those out and do something artful with them!) I have this up on the wall by my desk at the library and several people have commented on how real the books look. Which they do, and even more so in this photograph.
Witney is the market town for Woodgreen just north of town, which was the model for Miss Read's ever popular Thrush Green series.
