(well perhaps I should, because it sounds like the premise for another story.)<br /><br />For anyone who's read The Guernsey Literary etc, remember near the beginning of the book, Juliet's fiance insisted her books should come off her shelves and be stored in the basement, to make room for his (I think) sports trophies. So she broke the engagement and kept the books. And then the flat was bombed and all her books were destroyed; ironically, they'd have been safe in the basement.<br /><br />But so glad you have a happy ending with a house AND the books.Susan Dhttp://www.susandaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-3644898889521067282016-10-02T09:27:34.163-07:002016-10-02T09:27:34.163-07:00Cheaper, and takes up less space, too.Cheaper, and takes up less space, too.Susan Dhttp://www.susandaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-54872616070008827792016-09-30T14:11:32.635-07:002016-09-30T14:11:32.635-07:00This is true.One book i want has been £70 for 2 ye...This is true.One book i want has been £70 for 2 years.The seller told me he would take 10% off the price.I had to decline.<br />Georgia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-37516143891714991742016-09-30T09:24:03.736-07:002016-09-30T09:24:03.736-07:00What a seller is asking and what people are willin...What a seller is asking and what people are willing to pay aren't necessarily the same thing, though.willafulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201963128584310884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-55835543649583902742016-09-30T06:35:55.802-07:002016-09-30T06:35:55.802-07:00Well Cindy maybe the charity have not got enough h...Well Cindy maybe the charity have not got enough helpers to sort the books out.<br />Brian P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-4028840507903258882016-09-30T01:49:03.963-07:002016-09-30T01:49:03.963-07:00The 6 D.E.STEVENSONS cost $164.17 approx if bought...The 6 D.E.STEVENSONS cost $164.17 approx if bought on Amazon today.You paid $18.<br /><br />SherrylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-91301749582368644272016-09-30T01:01:28.643-07:002016-09-30T01:01:28.643-07:00Those D.E.S. books sell for $50 online not $3.That...Those D.E.S. books sell for $50 online not $3.That charity certainly missed a trick .<br /><br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-70084902273661928962016-09-29T14:44:46.462-07:002016-09-29T14:44:46.462-07:00This link should go to the Amazon US record for mo...This link should go to the Amazon US record for most at least of the Oct. 3 Furrowed Middle Brow releases.
