A million apologies for the delay, I have been gripped by inertia. This box will be in the post tomorrow
The bookbox is home!!! Thank you ever so much to all those who took part... it did actually reach the sorting office about 10 days ago, but I don't have a car and it took me this long to get organised to pick it up from the local post office. A great selection of books for me to nose through, I'll definitely do this again!
