Whose blog post today prompted me to go and look at my bookshelves and take a deep, reviving breath. Few treats or treasures can better a good book. One of my favourites is a 1920s edition of Helen's Babies by John Habberton, inscribed as a prize to my grandmother from her infant school in India. I'm also very fond of my long pewter-grey line of Persephone reprints.

That's a wonderful idea - what a way to keep in touch!
