Today’s Oxfam book purchases.

This is probably the third time I’ve bought Cat’s Cradle but I liked the Joan Miro cover and it’s the oldest edition I’ve bought, from 1965. Lint is also a repurchase.

I think Philip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther books are excellent historical noirs and I’ve read at least five others.

I am also beginning to think that I get along better with Iain Banks’ non-“M” work (The Bridge, Whit etc) and this one looks interesting. I don’t know much about it at all.

The image features four books arranged together: 

1. "Lint" by Steve Aylett, with colourful sci fi comic cover art.
2. "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut, a penguin version with a Joan Miro cover and predecimal currency price of 3’6.
3. “A man without Breath” by Philip Kerr, featuring a man in a hat standing before a domed church in the 1940s.
4. “A Song of Stone” by Iain Banks, with a stylised black and white image of a burning castle.
