Rain Rain Go Away!

After such a lovely June, July has been quite a let down on the weather front. We have ended up waiting 4 weeks for a clear window to make hay (no pun intended) and it looks like it may be a week or two longer for a dry spell.

I heard today that a old species of snake is being re-introduced into Devon. Hope they like wet weather :-( Typically the Lady on Radio Two's morning programme indicated that as she has never seen any snakes in Britain and they probally don't exist. After 10 years in North Devon I can def. say they do. She should try looking under more rocks :-)

Golden Books Group continues to tick over with our regular clients keeping the wolf from the door. We have been busy building an economics library and listing lots more interesting books on the website. The economics section now has over 100 titles.

Some interesting items are due in or may come over the next month. The most interesting of all is a collection of Arthur Conan Doyle letters in connection with a book he contributed to. There seems to be some connection with the occult but it may take a week or two to get more information. The same client has asked us to sell a early English bible that was issued to the Comonwealth in the early 1700's.

Oh some additional news is I have just put a few inexpensive books on ebay which you are more than welcome to browse. Hope this link works:
