A dragon puppet is bursting out of a book on the front table while a cat takes a flying leap for the chandelier and a man in the "Do It Yourself Books" corner totters under a stack of hardbacks. This is Bookshop Bedlam, Dave Whamond's cartoon take on a bookshop where nobody's minding the shelves properly.
Every section has its own joke going on. Self Help sits next to Gardening, there's a raccoon browsing the Mystery aisle by torchlight, and a spiral staircase crammed with readers who don't appear to be watching their step. Down at ground level there's a "Meet the Author" table, a dog balancing books on its head, and cats tucked into pretty much every gap going - the piano, the ladder, the armchair by the window.
The 1000 pieces are cut in Cobble Hill's random shapes rather than a grid, which suits a scene this busy - there's no straight lines to follow, just colour and character to sort by. A poster's included if you fancy a reference for tracking down that stray grey cat.
The scene is packed with dozens of small overlapping characters and objects across similarly busy shelving, making it tricky to isolate sections despite the bright colours.
