Stuart Manley, who owns Barter Books in Alnwick, Northumberland,
liked the red and white Second World War propaganda poster much that he
framed it and hung it up in his shop. It is one of only two original
prints known to have survived after the Government reconsidered
releasing the poster and pulped the original print run.
To his astonishment, Mr Manley was inundated with customers
desperate to have a copy or buy the original. He decided to make and
sell a facsimile version and, since then, has sold over 40,000 copies
alongside hundreds of mugs, T-shirts, mouse mats, tea towels and
postcards. - The Telegraph
