I was trying to do an inventory and make a note of what was where - they're mostly in my attic after the library was seconded by daughter no.2 and I was evicted - but its a bit overwhelming. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-62975197995997280062014-01-27T09:07:48.593+00:002014-01-27T09:07:48.593+00:00I suppose when you run out of books you already ha...I suppose when you run out of books you already have (about 2050 do we reckon?) you might start investigating new series...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-76633499622876691482014-01-27T04:48:53.336+00:002014-01-27T04:48:53.336+00:00It's a nearly book for me, just not quite over...It's a nearly book for me, just not quite over the line, I'm afraid.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-53898222294831036982014-01-26T19:47:18.302+00:002014-01-26T19:47:18.302+00:00Oh that's interesting, I don't think I'...Oh that's interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a h/back copy.

I read the first seven of these back in 2002 when I was first getting back in mysteries after a long break. I devoured them. Unfortunately, when I read the one following this one (Water Like a Stone), I was disappointed, and I haven't read any more. However, I have the next three and maybe I should try again. <br /><br />One thing I love about her hardback books (the later ones at least) is that they have maps on the endpapers. Very detailed. Very beautiful.

And that particular scene really shows the way clothing and underclothing can tell us a lot about a person's life. And you've chosen as 'photos exactly the kind of thing I imagined when I read about Elaine's private life. Brilliant!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
