when I have some money, I buy books
I’m waking upto the fact that I’ll need to move out of York at some point in the not too distant future. I already have a gigantic logistical dilemma with several indiscreet literary purchases. So what do I do? Buy more books, of course. I already have a logistical problem, why quibble about a book or three more to add to the pile?
Except this most recent purchase is entirely practical. I’ve already transitioned most of my reading to the electronic variety; but there are some books that simply cannot be used that way - one such being the Jane’s Aircraft Recognition Guide. Ok, so I couldn’t buy the 5th edition which is due out in September so I settled for the fourth edition. Yes, I’m buying the 5th edition too, when it comes out. Stop staring at me like that.
It’s not exactly All the World’s Aircraft, 2007 but I’ll settle.
Why do I need another Janes book? What’s with the rush? Elvington is in August.

Preacher, this is the choir. We know this song. My advice is to sit down and eBay or Amazon Marketplace the books over the course of several passes. It hurts the first time, but gets easier.

I suppose it might come to that in the end. It’s oh so tempting to think “oh, only about 20 kilos. I can handle that”.
