Expensive gossip
I was told, by way of gossip, that in one library which has just been refitted, the whole of the book shelves cost £50,000 and the counter cost £57,000.
That shows the value of having an experienced project manager- and not working with a designer who is being paid a percentage of the cost of the project. I suspect from this, that the whole project cost twice as much as it should have done.
I hope it wasn't one of those "Jesus loves You" projects organised by Miss Bo Peep OBE, MI5,etc, but I have an awful feeling it was.
Old grey booksellers do know a thing or two.
