Subject: RE: C. Fox Smith Sea Poems
Since my last post, 14 Feb last year, I now have 30 of her books.
I've had a couple of disappointments. Last October a copy of "All The Other Children" came up for grabs, I contacted the seller, a reputable shop in Canterbury UK, sent off the money, and it seems to have gone astray. Lost in the post.
Having access to the 'net only in work can cause major upsets. Monday June 9th this year I was having cavity wall insulation put in my house so I had a day off work only to find an e-mail waiting for me on Tuesday telling me that a copy of "The Foremost Trail", first edition 1899, had been found for the princely sum of A$11 ! ! ! Hastily e-mails seller, don't know why I was in so much of a hurry Australia being half a day ahead, only to have a reply saying it had been sold 15 hours earlier. 15 hours ! Cavity walls got a lot to answer for.
