on Northumberland, books
on the Border, books on our shelves or to customer order. Books
on the wine and the cheese you enjoy. (Do you think there's a
tome about Tome from Savoy?)
Books
for the bold and books for
the prudent, books for the learner, the teacher, the student.
Books about rabbits and hamsters and pets, books on the work and
the love life of vets.

the saddler, books on the mind of Jung, Siggie and Adler. Sermons
and lectures we've got in big dollops. We've also got titles by
Tartts and by Trollopes.
Books
for the elderly, books for
the younger, books about food for those suffering from hunger.
Shakespeare and Milton retain their appeal, but we make them rub
shoulders with Cookson and Steel.

from the publisher, hot
from the printing, books about framing and painting and tinting.
Books about murder and looting and robbing, books where the heroine's
bodice is throbbing.

guide and a helpmeet to Dante, but Graham had troubles on trips
with his auntie.)

books, atlases, rule books and diction-aries and classics and
