I couldn't resist buying this from an antique centre in Beverley. Apparently it's quite a melancholic story about a suicidal bookseller. Interestingly Written by William Darling, Grandfather of Alastair, the ex Labour Chancellor! See it @OxfordBookFair very soon. @pbfaorg
I just re read the chapter on Stilton, the "King of Cheeses" according to Squire, after having enjoyed a delicious plate of it en route back north yesterday at the Bell Inn, Stilton. Where else would one have it?!
Good to see that my old shop lives on. Here I am standing with Paul, the new owner yesterday on my flying visit to Tonbridge. #mrbooks#teppabooks#tonbridge
