Book on the desk 28


I need to pay more attention to Keith 's little book, especially now he is no longer with us. The title echoes A.G. Macdonell's England, Their England; and England, My England a collection of stories by D.H. Lawrence first published in the United States in 1922. This is the second printing. The pages are yellowing. The book fits nicely into a pocket.

Thanks for visiting, Emil.

I just did a search on Amazon. Seven available. Six used at very modest prices. One advertised as new at £100 sterling which I think might be an error as bookfinder.com returned thirty-nine; the most being asked $70 US with one anomaly of $1002.99. Many of the sellers mention tanning pages which indicates poor paper - too acidic - for a book not yet thirty years old. If there are that few on the market . . . I'm keeping mine, sorry.
