# The Snooty Bookshop: Fifty Literary Postcards by Tom Gauld - Novelty

by **Tom Gauld** (Author)

**Fifty postcards from _The Guardian_, by Britain's most well regarded cartoonist**

Tom Gauld (_Mooncop_, _You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack_, _Goliath_) has created countless iconic strips for _The Guardian_ over the course of his illustrious career. A master of condensing grand, highbrow themes into one- to eight-panel comics, his weekly strips embody his trademark British humor while simultaneously opening comics to an audience unfamiliar with the artistry that cartooning has to offer. Funny but serious, these postcards allow Gauld to put his impressive knowledge of history, literature, and pop culture on full display--his impeccable timing and distinctive visual style setting him apart from the rest.

This postcard set celebrates more than a decade of Gauld's contributions to _The Guardian_, with fifty of his most beloved strips, on everything from Samuel Beckett's sitcom pitches (such as _Waiting for Kramer_: a show where two men await the arrival of a man named Kramer who never comes), "Procrastination for Creative Writers, a 10-Week Course," and "Poetry Anthologies for People Who Don't Like Poems." Witty and beautifully drawn, _The Snooty Bookshop_ will make you chuckle at least fifty times, guaranteed.
