Also from a thrift store, this book chronicles wooden boat building in/around Lake Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, 1900 through about 1970.
Beautiful things they are, and the photographs are wonderful!

So I was browsing the charity shops of Durham City, and found that one is moving. Selling off stock, 10 books/cds for a pound, to eliminate moving costs. 10p a book!
This is the most lovely gardening book, though for the larger English garden, I guess it can be applied anywhere.
MrsA is our gardener, I prune the trees, hedge, lawn. This is an inspirational book however, beautifully painted plans to go with photos...

There are still a couple of launch builders here in England.

In London last weekend I got these in an Oxfam bookshop
Today I trawled four charity shops in a nearby town and spent a colossal £5.50 for these (six are really nice, including one on watercolour for MrsA, an interesting flower ID-by-month when they flower; the one with Harold King is a Folio Society from 1973 on the Bayeux Tapestry with complete photography, though Shining Sands will be my first read)

Caroline: Little House, Revisited by Sarah Miller.
I read the Little House books a long time ago. I know part of the story is problematic (colonialism, racism), it’s still fascinating. In this case, the story is told from Caroline’s viewpoint (the mother). It’s tender and sweetly told, so far.

I wonder why England has the best gardens with maybe Italy a close second followed by France. Or maybe it's a matter of personal taste and I'm biased in favor of England because I'm a native English speaker. Who knows. Beautiful book. Congrats.

My current audiobook:
I’m a glutton for punishment. After the endurance test of Twain I pick up two 1000+ page reads.
