We went to an OXFAM book sale on the weekend. Grabbing books indiscriminately off the tables, we came home with a glut of treasures.

This is the inside of Peyton Place. The first 12 pages are ripped out. When I first discovered this, I was a tad annoyed, until I read the message on the inside cover, as you can see here.

In case you cannot read it, it goes: “Someone has [ripped] out the 1st few pages but you will get it OK after a bit of catching up.”

Well you can’t say I wasn’t given fair warning!
