More second/third/fourth hand books
On holiday in Suffolk I visited some local bookshops. Most booksellers are usually delighted to get customers but in one secondhand bookshop, the elderly (male) owner managed a whole transaction without eye contact or speech! Here's part of my trawl. Michael Longley's 'A Hundred Doors' (spine-tingling), Alice Duer Miller's 'Forsaking all others' (a crackingly good narrative poem), David Winzar's 'Common Mallow' (published after his untimely death by his friends) and Rabindranth Tagore 'Lover's Gift and Crossing'. Terrific.
