BOOKS - national gallery shop

I just had one more post to share from my visit to The National Gallery for the Van Gogh exhibition last week. These are a selection of books spotted in the gallery shop, and the shop next door at The National Portrait Gallery. I know we all like a good cover design on P&P so hopefully something here will appeal or inspire.
