CHRISTMAS CLEAROUT - BOOKS for those who want 'em
I NEVER get rid of books... I have far too many. Having said that, I also have TWO copies of very many books, so, if you want, let me know and I'll send em to ya for postage to my paypal, or not if you're skint and/or tight or I like you or all of the above.
Bret Easton Ellis - American Psycho, British Picador/Pan paperback 1991.
Douglas Coupland - Life After God, British Scribner paperback 2002.
Nick Hornby - About A Boy, penguin film cover 2002(Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
th_esaurus, I DID in fact have it, though it took me a while to find, so I am spreading the love and passing it on, no offence intended of course.)
Charles Dickens - Oliver Twist, penguin classics paperback 1985. No idea where this came from, nor indeed why I have two of them, I hate Dickens.
M. Scott Peck, M.D. - The Road Less Traveled, A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth. THE self-help book to end all self-help books. I collect self-help books, about which I'm sure I'll post some time, because I love them to death, not because I need any particular help. But I ended up with two of these. As you do. Touchstone paperback 1978.
Shere Hite - The Hite Report, a nationwide study of female sexuality Yes, I also collect books about sex and I somehow managed to convince myself I had on male sexuality and bought this one, only to find I had female at home, and not male. Don't worry, I have both now. But two copies of this. Dell paperback 1977.
Chris May and Tim Philips - British Beat. Wow. Lovely, mass-produced bit of tat "British Beat charts the development of Merseybeat, London R&B and the Provincial scene, covering over 1,000 groups who emerged in the mid-sixties." Yes, it's got the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, the Animals and all the rest, but also: Long John Baldry and the Hoochie Coochie Men! Hedgehoppers Anonymous! Pinkerton's Assorted Colours! Worth it for the names alone.
David Lynch, Mark Frost and Richard Saul Wurman - Welcome to Twin Peaks - An ACCESS guide to the town Yes, it's a travel guide to the town of Twin Peaks, produced in association with Access Press, and it's quite funny and I would be very surprised if it's still available anywhere, so aren't you lucky I've got two because I was going to give one to someone as a gift, but that never happened for some reason I can't quite remember. A lovely piece of nostalgia if you're the sort of person who drank a lot of coffee and ate cherry pie. Pocket Books paperback 1991.
Desmond Morris - Manwatching. This wasn't as slashy as the title had me hoping. Only joking, it's Morris' Field Guide to Human Behaviour, big huge heavy lumbering hardback edition, Elsevier/Jonathan Cape 1977.
First come, and all that.
