Coincidences can be very amusing. Hope you enjoy the books.
I've got a full page magnifying glass now so reading paper books comfortably is possible again. Our library has moved to a new location which I haven't checked out yet - it's not been the same since the lovely manager and staff retired (all of them within a year) I haven't got to know the new people. It's all automated now so you don't get to chat like you did in the old days while your books were stamped - now I feel very old! It's even worse that I can easily remember the little cards in each book that got transferred to your mini-folder when you checked a book out.
Random content: I found a wonderful typo the other day where soldiers reached a village after several days hard marching and were allowed to rest for a day to 'recover from the depravations of the march'. Why do I always think of you when the military are involved? :) Not that you'd make that mistake.
Is there a special name for typos that don't show up in spell check, but are easily spotted by a reader?
