Today I broke the rule, and paid the price.
Last night (probably this morning) I ordered various Tiptrees via Amazon and the Carter edition of the Perrault fairy tales, the latter because I've been looking for it for years, as opposed to needing it for anything.
Today, in a trip to Whitstable, I rejected a book I was sorta looking for even though it was a pound.
Whom the gods wish to destroy...
In Harbour Books, a copy of the Carter/Perrault fairy tales - but apparently at cover price and not cheaper than I paid. Then in a charity shop - Up the Walls of the World, for 50p. This is cheaper than I paid on Amazon (53p plus postage). But it's a shot across the bows. To precipitate (is that the word?) Biblious, I had to buy it.
When I got home there was the Auden Plays waiting for me - and earlier in the week I got Prose Vol II. That's Prose Vol III awaited - and I suspect at the sorting office.
