Market Ghosts of the New Year

Impromptu Book Sale on the Stall - Tomorrow

Once upon a time in Arcadia - namely tomorrow Thursday 8th January in this the Year of Our Lord and New Teeth 2015 I shall be having an impromptu one day sale of books on the stall.  Included will be several boxes kept for this very purpose from two angling libraries which I was fortunate enough to obtain last year.  Should any of you ladies or gentlemen have any large fivers left over after the festivities give your butler the evening off and bring them down un-ironed to exchange for books of a much higher value.  I shall be on the stall from the regulation hours of 8am until 3.   For those of you who don't read fear not there will be other items of wonder and splendour also.  Thank-you.
