Watch The Signs! Watch The Signs!: Pub signs relating to science fiction, fantasy and horror

by Chappell, Arthur
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781999333102

A handy pocket sized work for reading reference or just browsing. The book is divided into short chapters covering a general history of pub signs, the roots of the author's own fascination for inn-signs, anthropomorphic signs, religion, mythology and fabulous beasts, Arthurian legend, witches, ghosts, real world science, rockets, pubs named after the great writers, pubs frequented by our literary heroes, pubs referenced in novels, and the end of the World pub by pub.

From the opening study of a pub sign in Sizewell depicting Mr Spock of Star Trek fame to the final image of the destruction of our planet by the Greek God Atlas, (Blandford in Dorset). This is a book with more surprises, twists and turns and excitement than many SF movies and novels.
