I did make it my job to ensure all the quirky titles such as 'Insects From Shakespeare' went straight in the window though and was gratified to find the bulk of my choices were sold by the end of the day! Extraordinary jackets were also popular in Oxford, for which you also seem to have an excellent eye!<br /><br />I can see that your employer has hired the perfect man for the job, so it is definitely in his interests to keep you happy!

Or is that the basis on which he realised you were the ideal man for the job?<br /><br />Lovely picture incidentally.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-48242063577015142012009-05-08T07:38:00.000+00:002009-05-08T07:38:00.000+00:00I'd be happy to pay for that copy of 'On The Beach...I'd be happy to pay for that copy of 'On The Beach' - my mother had a hardback copy and it's the first 'proper' book I read in my early teens - I loved it, and the film version - which I think is sadly neglected.Grey Areahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240869670530738753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-78108504562934749392009-05-07T19:58:00.000+00:002009-05-07T19:58:00.000+00:00What a fascinating job!
