On
the way to Bamburgh took the opportunity to call into possibly the best
second-hand bookshop in the world, Barter’s Books, located in the former
Alnwick station, (and now enhanced by a cosy buffet providing good wholesome
fare) to weigh in a couple of bags of Penguin Classics; although they did not
want them all, I did get £50 credit for those they took and immediately used
half of it on a few choice volumes from my wish list – including Bill Bryson’s
‘A Walk in the Woods’, Jeanette Winterson’s ‘Lighthousekeeping’, and Martin
Meredith’s ‘The State of Africa’.
