Home alone today, but while
recycling the newspapers I noticed publicity for a book fair at QE College in Darlington
so bus-passed it into town and perused what was on offer, which was, as to be
expected, low in volume but high in quality (and price); I used to seek these
events out regularly but with Amazon and charity shops providing cheaper
alternatives this was the first I had browsed for a while, and having poked and
fingered a few volumes it would have been rude not to buy something, or two
somethings as it turned out – a Folio Society edition of Thackeray’s “Vanity
Fair” and a hardback of David Starkey’s “Crown and Country”.
