Sounding rather puffed up, I can honestly say I have acquired [bought or otherwise] very little so far this year beyond the necessary. Such has been our rock'n'roll materialistic lifestyle it's been exciting when we did splash out on a curtain pole for the kitchen and a new washing up bowl after the old one cracked. This was only after exploring the preloved avenues first. However, I have a huge blind spot when it comes to books.....this caught my imagination on Freecycle and has now come to live with me and join my modest collection of Sussex books. In my defence I didn't buy it and I have balanced the scales by freecycling a further three books since😌😄
It is chockablock with all the nuggets I thrive on, so I hope the authors don't mind me sharing this little story from Chiddingly At one point the British surrealist artist, Sir Roland Penrose, had one of his pieces rejected by the RA because it contained a poem with a naughty word in it. However, where there's a will there's a way and he got another one of his paintings under the radar by showing hands which depicted a four letter swear word in sign language. I like his style!
