Default Cheap books!

Sorry to cross post folks but today I dropped into the Milton Keynes branch
of Borders (the book people) for refreshment. That branch at least is having
a sale of "coffee table" and "dining table" size books. Many of these are
meteorological or astronomical, or geophysical which one might not normally
consider, but a book of approx A2 size Hubble photos for £25 was too good to
miss as was "Weather" by Storm Dunlop (£30 reduced to £6).


I'm not surprised Storm Dunlop's book was reduced. (More of a coffee
table than a coffee-table book). I was hugely disappointed. Most of
the photographs had been badly reproduced - many should not have been
used at a quarter of the size they were printed. Captions were
dreadful. Terrible. I gave mine away to a jumble sale!
