At the moment my fella and I are busy setting up one of my ebooks on Amazon, which involves creating a Kindle-friendly version. Last week he bought a basic Kindle so we can see what the finished article looks like in context. It’s a cool little thing but I must admit I still prefer the real thing. The Kindle might grow on me. As it is, I’m hooked on the genuine article and chuffed to bits to discover AbeBooks.
It’s weird I haven’t run across them before. I guess, like many people, I’ve been stuck in the Amazon groove from the offset. But AbeBooks have been around since 1996, a very long time in internet land.

Falling in love again…?
I’ve been tracking down books I adored as a child and teenager, just to see if they still give me the same kick. I bought The Secret Garden recently, which was a complete delight. Heavenly. But I’m still looking for the book that set me off on a lifetime’s love of fiction.
Sitting quietly in the library at Kings Manor school in Middlesbrough, aged twelve, I raced through this book in a couple of hour-long timetables library sessions. I still remember the sheer delight, excitement and pleasure I got from it and I’d love to find out if the thrill stands the test of time. AbeBooks might be the place. I’ll be there this evening, tracking down a copy of The Saracen Lamp by Ruth M. Arthur.
