Book Barn

I'm just back from a trip to the Book Barn at Hallatrow, a small town 30 minutes drive from Bath.  They have a million books.  It's all second- or third-hand and nearly everything is a £1.  A lot of dated stuff, but a fascinating place with everything from a Serbo-Croatian Grammar to The Naughtier Side of Rupert the Bear.  With so much choice, naturally I came away without buying anything.  I almost bought Swordfish Fencing for Beginners.  That looked interesting.  In one dark corner, I found Fourteen Things to do with a Paperclip.  In the children's section, there was the cover only of Fartingdog Annual 1999.  I wonder what ever became of that 90s masterpiece?
