Ian & Stuart turned up at Mr A's house to move a rug, and ended up talking all the time about books! Well, the bookcase had to be half-emptied to lift it enough to slide the rug out from underneath, which gave us plenty of time to see the titles and chat with Mr A about his varied choices - Nabakov, Peter May biography, Folio Society sets - science, politics and classic literature nestling side by side.
Oh the rug? Easy peasy once the bookcase was done, rolled up out of the way and no longer a trip hazard.
