Also both bad news and good news from Halls.
The bad news was that the foreign language book shelf had been disbanded, reduced to a cardboard box underneath the table. No sign of either Percy or Coulevain (see yesterday's post), so I expect both will fade away; too much else going on for them to hold their place on my top table now.
The good news is that the turnover at Halls is strong enough for such a thing to happen. So many of the foreign books that were there last time I was there had been sold that their shelf was no longer viable. Perhaps the place will survive.
I paid for my entry with an autobiography of G. K. Chesterton. We shall see if his efforts in that line entertain as much as those in others.
