Day 2 I chose a time when I knew it would be quiet. I wanted to slowly look for the insignificant little gems that tend to get to hidden among the big and bright trade paperbacks and I found....

Very pleased with my purchases - lots of great reading to look forward to!
oh, you did very well!!! Good for you :-)
ReplyDeleteTwenty was my limit and I'm happy with my choices.
DeleteLots of great finds for sure, Rebecca for sure. Look forward to the Mystery type reviews.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will have to read Rebecca again - as if I didn't have enough to read.
DeleteWhat great book loot! I'm envious of the EF Benson - I've never come across Mrs Ames or Dodo Omnibus (never heard of them actually), and even the Mapp & Lucia books are hard to find these days. I'm very glad to see you found Vanity Fair :)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Benson titles which is why I took them all - I doubt I'd see them ever again.
DeleteLucky you! The Barbara Pym and Elizabeth Taylor are most exciting to me of your finds.
ReplyDeleteThey are to me too , and the E F Benson titles - very seldom see them here in NZ.
DeleteLove the look of the e-book And congrats on your Book Fair
