@alexlarman @djtaylorwriter @TheSpectator I think I have all the old white spine Picador Doctorows in all variant jackets. Couple of great stories in Lives of the Poets.

Films watched in April. All for second or third time apart from Niagara, which I don’t think I’ll see again.

Couple of clues in Everyman crossword in new @ObserverUK repeated from last week. 1 down & 16 down 🤔

[Nicholas Royle @nicholasroyle]

I suggest to @IKEAUK that that comma should be an ellipsis. Or even a dash. Or nothing. Anything but a comma.

Chucked out yesterday, Central Road, Withington/West Didsbury. What state will they be in this morning?

[Nicholas Royle @nicholasroyle]

@alexlarman @spectator Ah shame. I’ve read it now, thanks to a friend having a subscription. I’d love to write a response about the many wonderful Oxfam Bookshops I’ve visited while researching my books about collecting second-hand books, White Spines and Shadow Lines.

[Nicholas Royle @nicholasroyle]

@amwilson_opera @alexlarman Alexandra, yes, some have gone, but many remain & new secondhand bookshops are opening. I’m going to buy the Spectator & read Alex’s article.
