A very successful trip to the Strand Bookstore today. What makes it very successful? I left with fewer books and more money than when I arrived. Well, not very much more money… 16 cents.
I sold the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Handbook, The Leopard, Extreme Measures, and The Making of the Poets: Byron and Shelley in Their Time.
In return, I got The Letters of Adam of Perseigne. It’s got a 40 page introduction by Thomas Merton.
