Project 289 - Day 144 : James the Bookend Finds a Home

It sounds like the title to a heart-warming, if slightly odd, midday telemovie doesn't it?

A bookend, lost and alone ever since it's creation in a small factory in China.... OK a freaking large towering monstrosity that would have made a Dickensian industrial facility look like a grandfather's backyard workshop..... is bought in a funky home wares store in Newtown, entombed.... I mean, lovingly wrapped in red cellophane.... in a beautiful guy's birthday present box, finally is released, and put on display in a bookcase delivered by the furniture maker, early on a Saturday morning (and carried upstairs without major back injury or the ruptruing of significant arteries), while all around it the books, newly liberated from their packing boxes cheer wildly and cry with happiness....

.....now that last bit is just silly isn't it? I mean, everyone knows that books seldom display amy emotional at all.... I mean, really.... everyone knows that.....
