jazzy_daveArrived back around 4.30 pm. It has been a wonderful sunny day and perfect for travelling. I used my new route saving £2.30 on Explorer ticket cutting out Brighton & Hove buses altogether.
My bags were heavy with books of course. On the bus journey i read parts of Heart Of Darkness and the book on fonts called Just My Type. Originally the word had a "u" in it, "Fount" but slowly the Americanization of the word has reduced it to "font". I did not know that book fairs went as far back as 1454 when Gutenberg pre-sold his Bible (all 180 copies of it) before it was printed! This must be the first pre-order in the world for any book!
Tomorrow have a few posting to do , mostly from Ebay, of LP's and CD's and a DVD.For now, back to reading some books.
