A couple of books and a CD. Can't walk past a proper book shop - it's physically impossible! This one is a charity store with proceeds going to our local animal rescue organisation so I'm happy to support them.
The CD was an afterthought - spotted on the way out, lol! Two in one into the bargain - Gram Parsons GP and Grievous Angel. Couldn't take it for the measly sum they wanted so gave them extra.
The books are Seven Years in Tibet - Heinrich Harrer. A hard cover 1st edition published in 1953 - no dust jacket but otherwise not in terrible shape and complete with photographs. Curious to see how the movie measures up to the horses mouth. Love the movie but there's always artistic licence.
And another one on Tibet because it also looked interesting, and real, and I have a mild obsession - Tibet, Tibet (A Personal History of a Lost Land) by Patrick French who lived there for 20 years.
Lastly, a funny little photo book called A Pig with Six Legs and other clouds, from The Cloud Appreciation Society whose manifesto states "We believe that clouds are for dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul. Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see within them will save on psychoanalysis bills." How could I resist?!!
