The Thousands

There are only few occasions when I’d fight an old lady to the bitter end, and by ‘bitter end’ I mean hip, shoulder and elbow nudge to the ground. The Annual Save the Children Booksale is one of those occasions. Every year, someone, somewhere collects all of the rare reads that you’ve been meaning to get to (but didn’t) and puts them under one roof for you. You’ll walk out with a few bruises but a well earned first edition hardback and a cookbook with a gun on the cover. And a sausage in a bun! I promise. – CC
