Shelved CDs above my desk



Classical vertical
a pain in the neck to read
the rest horizontal
titles quick-legible
but a fingertip fight to extract

  3. Oooo. Are you? Which library?
    Middlesborough Library had a 'cameo part' in my Nano novel. (Basically because it's a nicer building than Scarborough's.)

  4. He was at Hertford and East Barnet, then Letchworth ~1954-1974.

  5. I was still a 'northerner' at that stage. Didn't get anywhere near until 1979 - and then it was only Wellingborough! Oh well. It's not THAT small a world then.

    OK - so 1956-8 I was in Chelmsford. But I wasn't visiting libraries then.
