No blog last week as I was camping in Hampshire and stayed away from the internet which was by choice and not because I couldn’t get it. It was a disappointing area as far as second-hand bookshops went but there did seem to be a plethora of titles from the “Bestsellers Of Literature’ series in charity shops.

I managed to find one connection to the area and PAN Books in that Ian Fleming was stationed in Littlehampton and there is information about his time there in the museum and another at the ‘Look and Sea’ centre where I saw, just lying on a windowsill, a PAN copy of ‘Thrilling Cities Part 1’ along with three Granada titles. There was also an audio display about Fleming but as someone had vandalised the earphones I have no idea what it said!
