Lovely first visit to Scrivener’s Bookshop in Buxton. Five floors, 40,000 second-hand books, now minus one or two. (Week-End Wodehouse for me.)
@pc_bain @bookstodon You were very restrained.
Weeks into my first full time job in the 80s, I was sent to London from Australia for a sales expo, lugging an unusually large suitcase.
Emptied of brochures and samples, was horrified when my enthusiastic purchases from unimaginably well-stocked London bookstores saw the suitcase weigh 43kg and would cost more than my airfare in excess baggage fees.
Fortunately, the airline staff member was an avid reader and put the bag through at the lowest fee possible, which was affordable even after only two pay cheques.

Oh dear. Not at all good for the baggage situation but thanks for the laugh! I can get overwhelmed by too much choice so happy to find a Wodehouse section and pick one to fill a gap.
