Absolute banger of a photo; pun not intended but fitting 😁. Would make a brilliant book cover. @acsheridan.bsky.social

Like columns in a temple.
Unfolding acanthus leaves or lotus petals?

When I began reading, I found scraps of paper pasted into the binding, full of asides and additional information in the thick, old-fashioned print of a typewriter.

A week later, I held the little blue book in my hands. Whatever guilt I felt for not supporting that local bookstore was short-lived: the eBay copy was signed by the author, and I liked the added nearness of knowing his handwriting along with his nearby address and burial place in Cathcart Cemetery.

Let’s set the scene: I recently found a copy of Alexander Gartshore’s 1938 book Cathcart Memories, but could not afford the £45 that the very wonderful bookstore was asking for. My bargain-hunting friend found a copy on eBay going for around £25. I offered about £17.

Was going to say the same. Amazing find!
