I now have time and space to sitdown again so want to reread some of my favourites from back then and get lots of newer stuff to restock a big old fashioned book case unit.

Boringly the 16p book was about speed figures/gambling. It said the front cover was folded but spine and pages in good condition. Just wondering if I can trust those little descriptions. Thanks
Not really if you look further back in the thread you will see that John Updike is among my favourite authors. Not only the sublime Rabbit Novels but his art criticism too which is lucid, insightful and inspirational. I don't like the eschewing of British culture in a blind rush to adopt imported culutre per se. (Fucking Italians) but have a great love and affinity for many American artists, writers etc and am hanging out to go and visit as much of the country as I can one day.
