I have no idea where a very small village finds so many books for a three day sale every year but it's always good to go and have a look.
But I looked and looked through hundreds of books and came away with just two, spending £2.50.
Marjorie Fleming by Oriel Malet, Persephone number 17 to add to my Persephone collection and a little book about Suffolk Churches. It's got all the details that are on Simon Knott's Suffolk Churches Index but in a much shorter form. I'm going to highlight the churches already visited and then keep it in the car - it will be handy to have for reference when out and about.
The little church book has no publication date and some of the information about churches already visited seemed out of date so I looked online and found it was published in 1998, and there's a copy on Amazon for £48. I entered the ISBN into the 'We Buy Books' website and they are offering 50p for it. Not a lot of difference then! I can't begin (be bothered) to work out what % mark up that is.

Out of curiosity I added my blog to the 'Blogs I Read' list just to see how it updates there, some days seem better than others for updates, everyone is finding the same - I blame it on the weather...................I always blame things on the weather! But it won't stop me writing blog posts.
And talking about things on the side bar .....I need 13 people to click the follower button just so that annoying moving gif thing that someone used as their profile thingy would move out of sight - it's very annoying.
Back Tomorrow
I tried but it wants a google sign in - not something I have so I hope you have plenty of others who will follow to get rid of that annoying flickering thing. Elaine
ReplyDeleteThank you for trying - looks hopeful for it being pushed out of sight today- hooray!
DeleteSorry, I can’t oblige as I'm already following you!
ReplyDeleteThat's OK . It's 8am and 5 people have clicked so the gif thing is getting closer to disappearing - which is good
DeleteI can't even get a "Blogs I read" list on to my sidebar. And I too follow already.
ReplyDeleteIs the Blog List Gadget no longer available to add to blogs? That might be a reason for blogs not updating. -It's all a mystery
DeleteThat made me laugh - it is a bit irritating, isn't it? xx
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those 'caught in the corner of my eye' things that I'd like to be rid of
DeleteIt's another irritating thing about Blogger recently. I too have added my own blog to my list, and sometimes it just doesn't show up till hours after the post appeared.
ReplyDeleteYours often doesn't show on my list until the next day but I find it anyway! And my page views are way down but build up after four or five days. Weird.
DeletePage views down here too but I still have lots of people looking back at old posts which is curious.
DeleteThat's a good idea, adding your own blog to the 'blogs I read' list. I think I'll follow suit, things have been a bit strange recently haven't they. Your annoying GIF should vanish very soon fingers crossed. I had one a wile back, but they must have unfollowed me as it vanished after a few weeks.
ReplyDelete'While' not 'wile' ... and the GIF is about to vanish, just one more Follow and you've cracked it. :-)
DeleteEven more strange is that my blog updated on my sidebar but not on other peoples - poor old google!
DeleteHooray for the almost vanishing of the flickering gif
I really don't like it when people use animated icons. It seems rude to keep demanding attention! Anyway, yours will soon be gone.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about the demanding attention thing but yes, you're right and it's one of those annoying things that keeps catching my eye - and yippee - it's nearly gone!
DeleteAlways a joy to find a second hand Persephone book!
ReplyDeletePenny
You should see how quickly my hand moves when I spot that grey cover!
DeleteThat's quite a mark-up!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, although maybe no one will buy it at £48 anyway and I'm not selling my little copy - it will come in handy.
DeleteA nice couple of books to come across. I seem to be going through a rather dull phase with my reading - I’ll blame that on the weather!

I don't really look at those side columns at all. Of course, I'm not a blogger, just a commenter.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I have never seen a Persephone book in Wales! The charity shops are all filled with crap novels and ancient cook books no one wants
ReplyDeleteEnjoying my Kate Ellis "Walking by Night". I still have a big pile of books to read.
