Looking for Lost Treasures


I have lost count of the number of times in my life that I have had to liquidate a personal library because I had to move and there was no way I could manage moving all those books.

I've decided I'm not ever doing that again - culling, maybe, but not liquidating. I've reached the point in my life where I can bloody well afford to pay some heavily-muscled movers with large truck to hoist the mountains of boxes of books and transport tham from one place to another.

So I've begun a project of reaquisitioning - making lists of the books I remember from all those times when I just ached to part with a book, and trying to restore to my current library the treasures and gems from the distant past.

The first of these reacquired lost treasures: Naomi Mitchison's Memoirs of a Spacewoman.

Bounce, bounce.

I like Michison *a lot*. Have most of her books. Have you ever come across her very strange Arthurian novel, 'To the Chapel Perilous'?
