Usually we mean 'didn't try hard enough', I suppose... hmm... art concealing work and all that.<br /><br /><b>Darlene</b> - haha, yes, you were very restrained! This is one I'll be snapping up wherever I see it, and sending off to people... so if I find some you might be in luck ;)<br /><br /><b>Mum's the Word</b> - finding really good comic writing is so difficult, especially from things printed now, that I felt very lucky to stumble across this :)<br /><br /><b>Mary</b> - wonderful! And now I know who it was, because you mentioned that on my Say Please post, but as 'anon', and I wanted to congratulate whoever it was who made this wonderful find!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-62545893790847038842011-10-20T03:23:13.864+01:002011-10-20T03:23:13.864+01:00Thanks for the tip, Dark Puss.

You can imagine how fascinated I was ... who was this Dear Lieutenant she was writing to? Was he a fan? The book is a first edition inscribed to Patrick from Ursula in 1946 which doesn't help!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-20570286671689625642011-10-19T19:27:42.264+01:002011-10-19T19:27:42.264+01:00Looks like something I would definitely enjoy - cl...Looks like something I would definitely enjoy - cleverly written and humorous!Mum's the Word!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02448435550148515472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-60602244251740541852011-10-19T13:26:01.799+01:002011-10-19T13:26:01.799+01:00This book suits me as well.
