Welcome to mobileread.  |
Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm really with you on the book searching at sales and the like - we have a whole village here in the UK called Hay-on-Wye which is dedicated almost exclusively to second-hand book shops (and they hold yearly literary festivals - the place even has a self-appointed "King of Hay-on-Wye"). One of my favourite short holidays was to spend time there just rummaging through thousands and thousands of forgotten books, usually with a list of books I was trying to find - a really fun treasure hunt. Guess those days are over now
Still, must keep up with the times
