Everytime I have been to my favourite charity shop for the last 5yrs or so there has been a big box of vintage Puffin and Penguin books.All glorious in beautiful colours their spines looking like a colourful barcode.I have enjoyed browsing through them and picking a few now and then.Ones with unusual titles or familiar favourites.I thought I had the luxury of time to build my collection because they have always been there.Would always be there.
Now they are gone.I cannot believe it and do not know where they have gone to.The lovely volunteer in charge of the books was not there to ask. I am hoping that they have been temporarily mis-placed and will be returned for my next visit.
I wonder though whether Debbie has been and bought them all.I know she has a penchant for old Puffins and Penguins.
