Charity venture Books about Town placed 50 benches in the shape of giant books and painted to commemorate all sorts of great British writers around London this summer. They’ve just come off display, and will be auctioned off on October 7th. See Books about Town for more info.

Here’s the bench dedicated to Neil Gaiman’s novel Neverwhere. A closeup of one section:

The preliminary sketches are really beautiful, too:

Do think that it is intentional that Richard Mayhew looks like Kris Marshall?

You’d have to ask the artist.

Do you?
