The L M Montgomerys are in lovely condition, much better than the ones I already had. Gale Warning is a first edition in a near-perfect dustwrapper. And this copy of South Riding is so pretty.
It may have 'cheap edition' written all over it but the dustwrapper is identical to the first edition one and like most of the other books, it's in very nice condition.
Slightly disappointed not to get any plants but made up for it with the fruit and veg. Bargainous day!
I had a good morning too, no books for me, but a nice if select haul to sell, 500g of alpaca yarn for £5, and - best of all - a lovely little spinning wheel in beautiful condition for £15! I'm very pleased with myself :)
I've never read any Frances Parkinson Keyes (I used to think it was Francis, a man) but a friend was reminiscing about her books recently so I thought I'd give it a go.
I went bookshop mooching this morning, but didn't find anything. Probably just as well, really.
Bad luck with the bookshops.
I have three market book stalls and two or three shops that I visit weekly, so, even though today was a washout, I'm generally accumulating books at a faster rate than I can possibly read them...
