Is it time to burn my books?
My wife has already told me she is getting rid of the lot the moment I go. So, given the cost-of-living crisis and the rocketing price of fuel, is this the year for me to clear the grate and set a match to all my treasured tomes?
I have at least 10,000 volumes, and they’re worthless. I know because Rick Gekoski – since the 1980s, arguably the world’s leading dealer in literary archives – popped by to by Edward Heath not so much. (I have none of the former, and three of the latter.)
