This year probably saw me buying books quite aggressively. A total of 30
titles which should keep me occupied for the next year or so.
The initial few days of the Sale saw some *really* good coffee table books on sale; these made me salivate, but i did not buy any of them - a mistake! These books were totally missing after the first week of the sale; am sure someone would have lapped up the entire collection.
