Reads of classic stories, Occasionally reviews or brief biography of writers. But mostly me, reading stories.

Remember: There are small booksellters who will usually be able to fulfill your order cheaper and with more care than Amazon.

abebooks.co.uk is recommended.

It would be nice if people could click 'like'. It costs nothing and makes an old man happy.

    Book of the Week - Searching for Railway Telegraph Insulators
    Jun 13 2026
    Have YOU ever wanted a Railway Telegraph Insulator but been unable to satisfy that craving?

    Interesting review
    Despite the title this is not a joke book. The author is serious about his passion. Indeed in the preface he explains that he couldn't understand why he could not find a girl friend when he was a young man. This book has become a cult classic and becoming quite hard to obtain therefore likely to become a collectors item if there are no reprints
