Daunt Books, Marylebone London. Illustrated Art Print. This illustration took me two months to complete. That's because I wanted to go slow, go deep into minute details, and savouring every moment of it... like a Murakami novel. Boasting long oak galleries and graceful skylights, Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street has a reputation as being one of London’s most beautiful bookshops. Its initial branch is located in Marylebone High Street, London, and is known to be the first custom-built bookshop in the world.
