Our limited edition Readings t-shirts and totes make the perfect gift for readers and book lovers. This shirt features our ‘Professor Longhair' design. Back in the 70s Mark Rubbo, Readings' managing director, ran a busy record store called Professor Longhair’s Musical Shop (named for the legendary New Orleans blues singer and pianist). A couple of years later, he and his business partners took over Readings and combined the stores.The spirit of Professor Longhair’s lives on in these special edition items.
