When it comes to books, I'm a bit of a Monty.
So I'm buying some out of print hardbacks that I'm paying about three times over the odds for. Stupid boy.

I dislike hardbacks
for reading anyway.

My grandfather was a county librarian and has a superb collection of books. I'm hoping it might come my way, because most of my cousins are barely literate.

The state of education in the South East is appalling.
I'm embarrassed by it.

it's not that so much
as that all the brains went to my dad and his brother. The sisters got nothing, and passed nothing onto their kids.

Guildford has one of the oldest. They're a great thing if you believe
that turning spoiled, rich kids into braying media executives is a positive step.

Oi.
I don't work in media and I have certainly never brayed. Not about being rich, it's about being the top 5% baby.

Well if you don't work in media, you've got no cause to take umbrage.

OK, just sayin' like.
Us grammar boys can get a bit punchy.

I bet that's terrifying.

Hell yeah.
We refused to pay for a corked bottle of Mersault the other night.

It was bedlam.

Your mum has HIV.
Which is positive.

It's surprisingly hard to buy decent hardback editions of even popular books.
Once the paperbacks come out, you can only get the hardback editions from "collectible" sellers. I'm not even after first editions, just nice, hardback copies.

When I decided to become snobbish about it, I had no idea it'd be so obstructive. Now it's too late.
