She's into non fiction and particularly biography's and auto-biography's which of course generally means substantial hardbacks, no sissy pulp fiction paperebacks for her, oh no ! Our first load from UK in an 8cu/m trailer was perhaps 25% books and felt like one of the heaviest loads of all that we lugged  My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report
