When I went to Sissinghurst I was so frustrated because so many of the bookshelves were too far beyond the velvet rope to see titles.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-92053652892092296512011-08-05T23:35:59.208+01:002011-08-05T23:35:59.208+01:00Wonderfully clear photos, Hayley, so I enjoyed rea...Wonderfully clear photos, Hayley, so I enjoyed reading the titles. So many I would like to read! And, like Rachel, I spotted the two copies of Young Anne - how very doveish, to have multiple copies of favourite books!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-39937272890783647562011-08-05T21:11:25.903+01:002011-08-05T21:11:25.903+01:00it was tempting but the french teenagers stopped m...it was tempting but the french teenagers stopped me from doing anything I might get arrested for - to many witnessesDesperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-67101691164249246402011-08-04T14:15:22.196+01:002011-08-04T14:15:22.196+01:00Love those books.

The books at Chartwell are somewhat like that, though now I'm not sure if they actually belonged to the house because I read a horrible article about the National Trust and how they stock houses' libraries from a central warehouse of period appropriate choices. How awful is that! You should have nicked that spare copy of Young Anne, I would have done. It's just sitting there, begging to be taken home!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
