Lots of books to process
Posted on 8 September 2009. Filed under: Buying Time | Tags: Books, bulk buys, Buying |
I’ve just made the decision to try and blog more often. Sometimes I’ll ramble on about very little and other times I’ll actually have something sensible to say. I’m currently doing some research on Pulp Magazines and that might culminate in a number of blogs about them.
I’m hoping to have an [...]

I’ve recently picked up a box of books to sell. Some of them have been written by fabuloso authors from my childhood and I’ll be very excited to re-read some of them before I list them, it’s going to make for a very slow listing process.

Another in the list of bulk buys. I still have my doubts about this one, but it paid off in the end.

As you might know from a previous post I have a lot of Agatha Christie books, I’m really only missing three titles of short stories and The Mousetrap. So it’s a very exciting time when I find a book I don’t have.
My other half took me away for a long weekend, we drove down to [...]
