The couple that own one of Britain's largest 2nd hand bookstores in the north of England are the one's who first came across the poster and started to print it, and then of course the design was taken and turn into t-shirts by people I will refer to as 'opportunists' http://www.barterbooks.co.uk/keepcalm.php The guy who owns keepcalmandcarryon.com is well aware of this as Barterbooks is where he first acquired the poster. Admittedly the guy saw the potential in the iconic imagery and new how to capitalise on it... and of course the poster is copyright free and in the public domain, but still it's his lack of recognition of the discoverer's of the poster that annoys me. If anyone wants to purchase one some 'Keep Calm and Carry On' stuff I suggest you do it from the the true home of the poster.. Barter Books, Alnwick, Northumberland.
