Was anybody else in a teenage band that never actually existed? I spent the late 1980s in psychedelic fourpiece The Followers Of The Sun and rootsy rock band Gripwolf Jaundice. Lyrics written, album sleeves designed, track listings decided and that was as far as I got.

Leila Kassir Cambridge University Library Yes! I couldn't leave him out! Delighted to find The Snowy Day in the Tower, although it was the 1967 Bodley Head edition, not the original 1962 Viking Press one (American) - which has this lovely cover under the dust-jacket

Friday 1 December, 2-4pm delve into the Terence Pepper collection, a realm of popular culture and iconic magazines in the British Pop Archive. Terence Pepper and intern Sophia Lee will give insights into these publications that serve as cultural barometers for their respective eras.

Inside my old Picador paperback of Knut Hamsun’s Hunger, a sketch of Bookends bookshop from 1997, torn from what looks like an old copy of Loot magazine.
