Subject: RE: BS: Christmas shopping shock
I think I may end up buying it online, Susan. Sadly it's the growth of online bookshops, and the big chains, that have shut down the small independent bookshops where I could have gone and had a chat.

I'd also been into a branch of Waterstone's - which I think is, or was, owned by WH Smith - where a knowledgeable and likeable young lad told me there were such collections, but they didn't have one, and they couldn't order me one as they'd be closing at Christmas to become an H&M fashion store.
