Recent Acquisitions #39

[littlerdog.livejournal.com]

Not much of a haul lately. One book from the Co-op and three from the local town we visited today. It doesn't have as many charity shops as the other local town we frequent, so there were fewer opportunities. And, overall, far fewer books. I guess they don't read as much there.

The town was pretty dead anyway. Husband commented on the difference between the number of vehicles on the road (large) and the number of people in the streets (small). Plus, although it was mid-afternoon on a Saturday, many shops were shut. Not symptomatic of a thriving metropolis.

I won't list one of the books here, as it may be going out again as a present, but these are the others, with the Co-op book first:

The Gladys Society: A Personal American Journey by Sandi Toksvig;
Keeping It Real by Justina Robson
and
Explorers: A History in Photographs by Richard Sale (large letters) and Madeleine Lewis (small letters). Reduced to a wimpy £3.99.

How great it would have been if photography had been invented much earlier.

How rude, not having many books!

Inconsiderate, I call it!
