Buy the Book
An interesting idea at work today. Everyone brings in their
unwanted books, and they get sold for 50p each, with the money
going to charity. Fabulous - I was pleased to see all the neglected
books going to smiling new owners. However, I decided I would be
strong. As I neared the tables, and saw the books seductively
displaying themselves, I had a word to myself.
'Self,' I said, 'There's already a book overflow problem in the flat, you have a leaning tower of Pisa waiting to be read, and you'll have to carry them home.'
Self totally ignored this and got out my purse, and bought these two:
Well, they are for research purposes... and I got a seat to myself on the bus.

I nearly bought Evil Serial Killers from the Help the Aged shop last week. If it's still there when I go in Monday, I may get it.
This is a brilliant way to rehome unwanted books at Christmas. They need love!
It would be cracking! It could have annotations and highlighted sections which correspond to cold cases which were never linked in the town where I bought it. A serial killer who is carrying out serial killings 'by the book.' Thanks Gerry. Another one for my 'could make a good story' black bag!
