I was browsing through the condemned books in the garage yesterday and discovered that with the pressure off to sell them they're not a bad bunch. If I had been wandering through a small secondhand bookstore containing only those books I think I would have found something to buy. The scruffy leather pocket book volumes of poetry and literature, the 1930's dustjackets as above, the jacketless hardback of 1900's novels, social commentaries, theories of education, farming, industry, AA route maps and so on all took on a much rosier glow so I saved a few.
