Hi Folks,
If you've not seen these then you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have only just discovered them and I love them. You can't see it clearly but the wine is a 1973 Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon.
I want one - it would look incredible above my Heron collection (I'm referring to the picture, not the wine, though I am sure the wine bottle would look great as well, but it'll be empty).
Created by photographer Mark Llewellyn (I'm not promoting him - I've never heard of him).
Enjoy.

I, of course, was more interested to see what the books were...Darren wrote: If you've not seen these then you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have only just discovered them and I love them. You can't see it clearly but the wine is a 1973 Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon.
(Thanks so much for sharing that!)

Now that you've identified them I can see the titles clearly - but I couldn't before. For completeness the third book in the other posters is The Strange Story of Linda Lee. I wonder if any thought went into the choice of the books - there's no obvious link. Perhaps he picked the three in best condition for his photo.
Regards,
Darren.

I didn't even see the pictures with three books, just the one with the wine bottle and the two books. I can't help but think that he just thought the books looked classy with their fine "leather-like" covers and supreme pseudo-gilding. I would imagine he just found a stack of them at a yard sale (do you have those in England?) and those three titles happened to be the ones he found. He probably thought, "Hmm, oh yeah, I remember this bloke. Used to be really popular, he was."
It would have been amusingly incongruous if it had been a bottle of beer with the books. Unless it was with Saturdays with Bricks, I guess. If he wanted to really capture the Wheatley spirit, right next to the table with the books and wine, he'd have a man spanking some naughty woman's bottom. Or is that too much?
