"Did you read all these books in the past? Will you read them in the future? Do you need all of them? They are collecting dust and cobwebs. Give some of them to charity." Thus spoke my son. There are several old books. You can see the price in "old money". Two shillings and six pence for "Jill has Two Ponies" or for "Nature Stories" - which books for children (one week's pocket money) . A shilling more for a memoir by Robert Graves, the poet and novelist. The price of newer books is higher and in "new money" - thirty-five pence for "Father and Son" and one whole pound for a memoir by Flora Thompson.
