As I did with Northern Ireland last month, I posted a box of books to my venue. This time, though, I'm only doing two days. The box contained 31 books and 6 comics, so I've sold a third of them in a day. Will I need to post a box back tomorrow afternoon, or will the remainder fit in my bag? I'll be able to tell you at close of play tomorrow. Limavady ahoy.
