My book-buying "problem"

Well I hope my copy won't have that problem. Hm.

 

Looks like they've left out a whole 16 page section. On the plus side, it'll take up less space on the shelf.

I've got a copy of Meyer's Grenadiers where either the cover or the textblock is upside down (not my handiwork...)

 

One of Henry James' novels was published with two chapters transposed. This went unnoticed through several editions.

 

Picked up my copy of this today from Niall.

 

Even today, few people know that his name was actually James Henry.

 

Well Gurkhas served in France 1914/15 and despite popular depictions their war diaries suggest that they preferred the grenade to the knife when it came to tranch raiding and they were back and for a time camped on Hereford Race Course 1939/40

 

Some new arrivals:

 

I'm just happy that he makes me look focussed!

 

One of those 'Blimey, that's cheap' purchases from N&M Press.

 

It's a new year isn't it..... yes I really failed on that resolution. It lasted all of a day.

Feel free to use me as a cautionary tale as to what happens when you have too many wants on Abebooks that come up at the same time and a paid off credit card (once paid off credit card)

 

One of many things to work on is the rabbit trails I go down.....that's what I get for reading the references in the backs of books. I always find more things to get, often very tangential.

 

Yes - bibliographies are usually the only bit I read...

 

An irresistible purchase found in our local Lions book shop. Just the sort of cracking read for a January night.

 

Might help with insomnia?

 

You could bezzzz zzzz zzzz zz zzz

 

Don't do a spoiler and tell him about the twist - in the trench on page 97!

 

That’s odd, my copy ends on p.78. I always thought it had an unsatisfying ending.

 

Come on, chaps. This can only lead to one thing.....where do I get a copy.......?
