About meRetired cataloguer, retired media fan from the days of classic Trek onwards, mostly retired re-enactor, and current minder of two Russian Blue ladies (also retired!)

About my libraryMy book collection reflects my interests, which are ancient history, science fiction and fantasy, detective fiction and building on my childhood collection of books. I'm also an American Civil War re-enactor which accounts for the social history of the Civil War rather than the military. I have been rather ruthless in culling the mounds of books due to lack of space - my usual criteria is 'will I read this again'.

We seem to share a lot of my favourite books (including Dornford Yates!), and I noticed that you have Pamela Brown's The Swish of the Curtain, which I was doing a search on last week. I haven't read it for years, and I'm going to have to find a copy.
Hello

Thank you for adding me to your interesting library list - I notice that we have a number of common interests and authors.

I currently have two Blue Burmese ladies - one of whom is retired - she is getting increasingy frail, and she tries to insist that my "lap" is big enough for the two of them when I am sitting at the computer... It doesn't make entering books into LT very easy!

cheers
Hello again,
Nice to hear from you .You mentioned among others Manning Coles,and although I know the name I am not aware of his work or what books he wrote. Perhaps you could enlighten me.
I do agree about the difficulty of finding old books in Charity shops,and I also think that there is so much variation in prices,even with the same charity in different Towns. Oxfam in particular are wildly different I find,
Interesting to hear that you are going to Harrogate soon, are you fairly near to it.We were there recently for a short break (together with York)We very much enjoyed our meal in the famous 'Betty's Tea-rooms. Will be interested to hear how you get on at the Book-fair there.
All the best.
I see you also have The Burning Lamp, by Frances Murray. It's one of my all time favorite historical novels. I admit I do prefer novels with a humorous slant. Perhaps it's my antidote to all the history I read.
Hello,
I see that you have added me to your list of 'Interesting libraries' for which many thanks.We seem to share a taste for detective and spy fiction tooas well as sharing 165 titles of the same book.Edgar Wallace is a particular favorite of mine as you will see from the fairly large number of titles appearing in my list.
Anyway greetings from Northamptonshire to West Yorkshire.
Do keep in touch.
We share some interesting books - Kay, Price, Saylor and Broster are among my favourites. I am envious of your collection of Manning Coles books: mine is building very slowly, though I read them all from the library many years ago. I keep an eye out for them always, and did manage to get A Toast to Tomorrow and Green Hazard through Amazon, which had stuck in my mind for decades. The same with Edgar Wallace's Sanders of the River. But you have a much better selection of both.
