No Dogs Policy (new)

Following several unfortunate incidents and an ever-growing canine population in our corridors, we have decided, with some regret, that it is time to revert to the practice of only a few years ago of asking our customers not to bring dogs into the bookshop.

This policy change has been hard for our staff to
agree, but we think it is the right course of action.

Assistance Dogs are, of course, exempt.

Tully Crook (born 1938 in Hampstead, London) is an English artist. After training at St Martins School of Art he had an extensive career in advertising. Although most well known for his prints, he has also exhibited as a sculptor in 1973, having a one-man exhibition of imaginary islands created from cork structures at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. He now concentrates on painting oils and making prints

His work is a kind of visual shorthand; a distillation of the mental experience of landscape and interior. His prints are based on a correct observation of the subject, simplified to clarify the basic structure reducing them to the essence of what they are.

Major themes in his work include Birds and nudes.

Tully Crook is married to the American sculptor Peggy Lynn Katz, with whom he has three children, Amelia, August and Max.
