The free book table at my work has returned! 😆 I‘m sure some English instructor just cleared out their office, but I found a couple gems #BookHaul

Kiddo and I went to Fort Worth (again) for new pointe shoes (again). We went to a new-to-us Barnes & Noble as a treat.

In my defense, I can‘t be expected to exercise restraint when they set up mythology and myth-inspired tables right next to each other in the main aisle. I did resist all the other pretty shiny things.

A Language of Dragons | S F Williamson

There was a bookshop on the way home from an appointment. Asked the teenager whether she'd like to go in for a look. She replied "you're going to snob at the English books and I won't find the mangas I'd like to read."

flying_monkeys Love the design on those sprayed edges. 😍 3d
julesG @flying_monkeys That's why I bought it. The It being Language of Dragons. It was only €3 more than the large international paperback edition. But so worth it. It's even stunning under the dust jacket. Girl's Guide doesn't have a dust jacket but has interesting interior art; it's for the teenager. 3d

#bookhaul mostly from Munro‘s, a couple from Russell Books as well. Almost all for other people this time, so that‘s good, right?

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle I just have to get it transferred from another branch & that takes longer. It‘s just weird that they don‘t have all of them in a branch but I guess they go missing & they don‘t replace them or something. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
Librarybelle That could very well be…when I worked in public libraries, that would be the reason. At least you can get it! 3d
mom2bugnbee Those chickens! ♥️ 3d
Sace @DebinHawaii I have the same issue with The No 1 Ladies Detective series. All the books in the series are scattered among different branches. 1h

Due to lack of internet, I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday. #Bookhaul from a new-to-me used bookstore. My little picked up a decent stack as well. 📚

Sace That edition of Alice in Wonderland looks delightful! 3d

A little #BookHaul from my morning in Manchester, and a visit to the Queer Lit bookshop. I hope to read these all in the first quarter of 2025. Well, I can dream, can't I? 🤔💭🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

#BookHaul
Although my beloved Broadhurst's Booksellers is no more, browsing in another shop I found that they have an entry in this 1982 Guide to the Secondhand and Antiquarian bookshops of Great Britain, so I had to buy it. When I come to read it, I will undoubtedly be checking which are still open, and will be making appropriate entries on Library Thing. ⬇️

Bookwomble Kate O'Brien's English Diaries and Journals is a slim essay on the subject, a somewhat tanned cover, but some nice plates inside.
Lastly, an "unexpurgated" translation of The Decameron, privately published by the Navarre Society, with some similarly unexpurgated illustrations, ??️? No publishing date, but a previous owner, "Bultitude", has inscribed it "22nd January, 1943". ⬇️

Bookwomble At that date, its 42/- cover price would now be worth about £80, so the £6 I paid send a bargain, despite it showing signs of its age. 5d
kspenmoll Some amazing finds!!! 5d

LeahBergen What a glorious photo! 5d
bibliothecarivs Is this photo from the shop or from your home later? 5d
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs I wish I needed a bookcase ladder! 🤔 Actually, I do, but haven't the space for one, so I perch precariously on a stool for my top shelves! I took the picture in the tagged bookshop before heading for the till 😊 4d
Bookwomble @kspenmoll Yes, I was pleased with this little group. I've been meaning to get a copy of the Decameron for 40-odd years, so not before time 😊 4d
Bookwomble @LeahBergen It's atmospheric ? The new proprietor who took over when Mr Parkinson died a couple of years ago is starting to get a bit of his own stamp on the place, which is nice. Unfortunately, he does have a tendency to play his "background" music in the foreground, which can be rather unnerving when you're trying to quietly browse ?? 4d
LeahBergen Eek! I feel your pain. 😬 4d
