I didn't get any books - so far! I have $50 from my sister-in-law & no firm ideas of what to spend it on, and I haven't heard from my sister yet so there will be more money to spend.

I usually buy myself a few To:me-From:me pressies & all I've bought so far is a $2.95 second hand book with my primary school's stamp on it! It's old enough to have been in the library while I was there.

So I now have a skinny red book (it WILL fit on my very full bookshelves) "Soft Toy Making' by Phyllis Chappell, 1962. Even if it had been a folio sized book I would have bought it & found a spot on the floor for it as I've only got 2 books from my childhood.
