Henning Mankell

If you have yet to discover “Nordic Noir” then Wallnder , created by Henning Mankell is a good place to start. Could you imagine Morse, or even Lewis, going to the toilet and deciding it’s time to change their underpants. The characters seem real, however bizarre the crimes, there is a Dan Brown Factor of Nil in these books (Dan Brown of ten is when every character is over six foot tall, looks beautiful and has an IQ of over 180).

I have a good selection in the shop all at £2.00 each, just the book for this god awful weather we have at the moment.

SPELLING ASSISTANT

IMG_20191130_105902

Undated, the title made me think it was a book for Carpenters to help with their spelling, but it is Thomas Carpenter’s “cunning plan” to help scholars.

Tatty binding but complete, so, (I hate the way that “so” is used at the start of every sentence, even by people you expect more of, at least the “Australian” inflection is falling into disuse), if you want to give your child a help with spelling, I am asking only £1.00 for this “spelling assistant”.

GALAXY – Update

The covers for this period are unusual (check out the detail on March 1970) but some of my favourites.

This list may not be complete, just what I listed so far. The contributors may be complete, or just those on the cover, or none, they may be the full name or surname only. I have priced them as at least vg, any that were not have been binned, but I will reduce price if they have faults.

The SCOTS Magazine

I have never had these before, obviously haven’t made their way south, but was attracted by the early covers. A pity they didn’t keep it up, probably because they ran out of mountains to stand on.

The Scots Magazine 1977 04 055-COLLAGE

The Scots Magazine 1977 10 061-COLLAGE

These are all pic from the covers, mainly 1977 but a few newer ones as well. Not a patch on the old covers.
