murderers as book collectors
I work in a charity bookshop.
We used to have a regular customer called David Gilroy. I don't think we'll be seeing much of him for a while: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-fife-17367652 And some time ago we had a donation of books that had belonged to Paul Agutter: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/sp...6908-19995221/ Both of them had utterly conventional tastes in books. Gilroy mostly bought contemporary literary fiction and Agutter's collection was twentieth century classic literature, mostly Penguins (Orwell, Steinbeck, Maugham, Greene etc). Nothing on pharmacology or Satanism and no questions about whether we had an issue of "Which?" that reviewed shovels. I'm looking forward to when we get Ian Brady's Nietzsches with his name on the flyleaf. Anybody else met with that sort of connection? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
