I was devastated yesterday.
Well not really-but pretty disappointed.There is a bookshop in London specializing in classic literature called Unsworths and it’s there I go to get my Loeb Classics.
Only yesterday I go in and the complete bookshelf has disappeared.What must have been well over 400 books -Greek and Latin, had been sold outright to one buyer.I didn’t know one could do that!
That’s perhaps £6000.
I hope they were not bought just to make some apartment look scholarly-I’m optimistic though that they were bought by one enthusiastic lover of great classic literature.
In the meantime I have to find another source-there’s always Foyles and others in Charing Cross Road.
But if you’re reading this-can I borrow from your library sometime?! ![]()
Wow - it wasn’t me! But if I ever suddenly find myself with tons of money I’ll do just that! Maybe some devoted Classics student won the lottery.
Isn’t it obvious? I’ll give you a clue…
evening all [books on the shelf]
I’ve experienced that before, sometimes with books, other times with the most beautiful and less expensive decorative katanas there were on the store ![]()
