Another random act of bibliophilic kindness

A few weeks ago, Brunhilde sent me a rather rare book out of the blue, to thank me for a bit of help I gave her. Today, I got another very fine book in the post. Peter Dean (of that very fine company, Advertising Constructions - for all your exhibition needs) sent me an Arnold Bennett collection, The Matador of the Five Towns, which his accompanying note describes as 'the best collection of short stories I have ever read' - and he's a man who knows. As a Potter and a reader (a rare combination, I can hear you exclaiming), it's a doubly excellent gift. Thank you.
