Book Hauls!

Not the sort of thing you would normally expect to find on a charity bookshelf in Morrison's supermarket in the Highlands but I'm not complaining.
I was delighted to find the insides of the covers were printed too. I guess to simulate the endpapers of a hardback.

No idea if this was common practice but I like it.
 
Picked up this collection today from a charity shop.

And yesterday I got a couple from Vinted. I asked for an Ed McBain book but she had sold it but forgot about it. So I got to choose another as compensation. I picked a John D Macdonald book called The Soft Touch. And as a bonus she sent me another book, by an author I'd not heard of, and which doesn't sound at all interesting

I recently participated in a "book crawl" during the weekend of national indie bookstore day to support my local independent bookstores and I got quite the haul of books and other treasures.
View attachment 121727
My book haul included Starling House, A Stoke of the Pen: The Lost Stories, Irish Fairy Tales and Folklore, and Lore of the Witch World for fiction and Safe and Sound, The Faerie Handbook, Magical Folk: The History of Fairies, One Way to Write Your Novel, and The Art of Fiction for nonfiction. Some of the rest of my haul includes tote bags, earrings, stickers, magnets, candles, dice, and a special prize for every three-ish stores I spent at least $20 at. It was like Christmas came early! (But I'm not going to think about how much money I spent that day...)

Another winning from our freebie bookswap shed:

A slim little volume full of such valuable advice as:

"DON'T wear dressing gown and slippers anywhere out of your bedroom. To appear at table or in any company in this garb is the very soul of vulgarity."

"DON'T throw yourself loungingly back in your chair. the Romans lounged at table, but modern civilization does not permit it."

and the always ever useful:

"DON'T scold your children or servants before others."
