A big month of book hunting started with a walk through Oxford perusing the charity shops with a couple of old friends. Oxford is a regular haunt and one of the shops that has been least fruitful in the past came up trumps with three – count them – three David Pelham illustrated Penguin Science Fiction classics. Lovely!
Then, while off on hols with my lovely wife, had a chance to visit some fab second-hand bookshops including one of my all time favourites, Ystwyth Books in Aberystwyth where I grab some lovely bargains.
Also found a great shop near Nantwich – a new one for me – Cavern Books, where I grabbed some lovely seventies Puffins. Highly recommended.
Lastly, my wife’s a fan of the Hay Festival so while she listened to the great and good, I visit some of Hay’s great bookshops including Richard Booths, Addymans, Green Ink and the Cinema Bookshop.
As always, my best finds are on the front page.
Phew! That may be enough books for me for a while (or not).
