Gold mine!

Eureka! After around a month of searching the shelves of charity shops and book shops I found a Philip K Dick Gold mine! In an unlikely town in Shropshire I was taken to a large book stall (by my boyfriend whom rightly knew ‘just the place’ to take me) and to my amazement there they stood! Row after row of PKD books. Early prints, reissues, even several copies of the same book! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I began picking up books in some sort of frenzy, forming a pile of books. Carrying what I could I bought ‘Valis’ ‘Solar Lottery’ and ‘A Scanner Darkly’ and took them back to Derby, squeezed into my bag. In retrospective I wish Id bought more, but my bag was already bursting at the seams.

Sadly though, I was still avidly searching for ‘We can remember it for you Wholesale’.
