Today's (and yesterday's) trawl of the secondhand bookshops ...

White Teeth, Zadie Smith (recommended by Matt in Finland & the first chapter seems good)
Distance & Proximity, Thomas A. Clark
(an absolute gem - and contains the wonderful In Praise of Walking)
Veronica Forrest-Thomson and Language Poetry, Alison Mark (a surprising find)
The Language Instinct, Steven Pinker (going cheap & I've never read it - probably should have)
Media Studies: a reader, eds. Marris & Thornham
plus ... The Media Student's Book, eds. Branston & Stafford
(good ammunition for the new IB syllabus)
