What especially impressed me about this book was the pervasive feeling of sadness, in combination with the hopeful end, starting with a ride on a nighttrain.

This is the back cover. A bit about the book, some points on the stories that are told and a quote from the foreword. Nothing huge, but it's great to see it :D

I popped into William's Hovel with their paper and had a chat about books life and lack of it and hew admired our travels...

He had too many books to read and many ship models to make before...

He had a pile of books on the settee and said they were given to him and I could have them..

Being interested in the 2nd World War I picked out several which I now have to find time to read..

One was the 2006 Fitzsimons TOBRUK hardcover without photos.

I will take it up for Graham..

Kate is interested in all the others...
