At least 80 % of what's on my kindle are books I would have never, ever come across otherwise - and even if I had happened to see them on a shelf at the library or a book shop, I doubt I would have taken them.<br />Through my kindle and Amazon's kindle shop, a whole new world of old books - and all that entails - has opened to me.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-90698267566335018712015-10-08T19:41:40.048+02:002015-10-08T19:41:40.048+02:00Thank you!

I read it in its original form for a post I did awhile back - http://bitaboutbritain.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/the-dastardly-shooting-of-lorna.html - and found it really heavy going!
