books

Finally purchased 'The Confusion' -- two different editions on offer. Following my port-selection algorithm, I purchased the cheapest one.

Also got a guidebook for Hong Kong. Alas, neither a Lonely Planet or Rough Guide available in that shop (though they had them for many other places in the world) so I had to settle for Fodors; although not as bad as I remember, they're clearly aimed at Grown Ups :-(

Most obscure in the travel section were 5 copies of
Collin's Glasgow Street Atlas.
