They're all the same, aren't they? We've just started investigating our reference pamphlet files and we've never stopped laughing. We've got three (three!) different Channel Tunnel Project reports from 1973. And a 1914 edition of "Popular Jewish Coins."
Perhaps the most puzzling are the thirty-year-old handbooks on the airports of Belfast, East Midlands, Birmingham and Exeter. We're a farty little library in the north-west of England not far from yourself.
--s: oh yes...
And you've got 'A Passion For Donkeys,' haven't you? (-:
I don't understand why they haven't been culled. I've never worked in a library but second hand bookshops, yes. (I also used to have a stall at a wee second hand market) These sound like the kind of things that people would try to sell us covered in sneezy dust and mouse poo.
I bet it was you who took this tempting item from my local Freecycle:
