Home of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ poster!
You´ve seen ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ everywhere!
But did you know that the whole Keep Calm phenomenon began in a secondhand bookshop in England - Barter Books?
That before then, this poster that had first been designed in pre-war Britain, had been totally forgotten?
If your answer is No, our app includes a unique and fascinating little film telling you about the history of the poster and its rediscovery in this secondhand bookshop in England back in 2000.
A bookshop that has recently been called one of the 20 most beautiful in the world!
