I shouldn’t really say this as it might be a sign of my old age but it’s always a pleasant surprise to receive a book you’d forgotten you’d ordered from abroad as it was so long ago. A case in point was ‘The Building of Jalna’<\/span> <\/strong><\/em><\/a>in a TOTEM addition from Canada.

Thanks to Jules Burt<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>for drawing my attention to Ian’s Tweet. Thank you for thinking of me and I know we’ll find a copy out there someday.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
