I'm still stuck on 4:

The man reading at a desk - I thought I had it with the colour of the place he was but it didn't take
The singer dressed as a bee
The workshop poster
The barbershop quartet

  1. What room is the man in, and what colour is it?

  2. He's dressed as a bee, and the skinny bit of his guitar is placed so that it looks like a...?

  3. See my previous comment.

  4. The colours of their waistcoats are giving me a craving, even though it's a cold day...

Also the hat hanging on the wall is significant, not to the title but to the main character.

Have you got the 'A' at the beginning?

I found the comedy one by googling. Really, if I'm unaware of this many popular books I don't deserve book tokens anyway.😁

I'm on 13 now. I got most of them by cheating. It's pathetic, really.

MummersMumming · 14/11/2024 13:54

I've managed most of it (with help from this thread and searching keywords on the Waterstones website!) but I'm completely stuck on the box of lights.

Travel is a sort of location- the book is set in Thailand and was made into a film starring Leonardo Di Caprio.
