Book ends can be beginnings

It is not just books that I love, it’s the accessories related to bibliomania, too.
To wit, here is a photograph of a bookend that I just purchased at what might seem as an unlikely retailer for a book-related item. But nonetheless, while browsing through merchandise at Consider the Cook in Bedford, I found this adorable monkey bookend and decided I had to have it.
If you look closely you will see the monkey is flipping the pages of the book with his (or her) right hand. I particularly like that it is also scratching its head. I think this is a special bookend and one that did not need to be bought as a set — which is good because it was $40 all on its own. As you can see I didn’t feel it was up to the task of actually holding a line-up of books in place. Rather, I think it is better suited to just adorn a reader’s shelf. Now to find the right books to sit near it….
Consider the Cook at 26 Village Green has lots of items for cooks and foodies, of course, but as you can see it also has an array of home accessories. One less monkey bookend, though. There were at least four different bookend sets, which is more than you can find at many bookstores.
