Also, grabbed two relatively rare editions at Bookworms this time, both from the Folio Society (I know that some folks smirk at their books, judging them by their cover and dust jackets only, but I am not that picky):
• “Cold Comfort Farm,” marvellously illustrated by Sir Quentin Blake, a national treasure—if you want to read the best ever parody on purple prose and love PG Woodhouse, then this masterpiece is for you;
• “Uncle Silas” by Sheridan Le Fanu—a perfectly ornate Gothic story for a slow summer read.
...Thoroughly satisfied with my finds this time: Bookworms never disappoints.
