I love books. Nowadays of course most of my reading is done on a screen but a beautifully printed and bound physical book has a magic that electronic editions cannot match. Here are some interesting books I found in my study and posed for a phtograph.

I recently discovered the wonderful Guardian Crossword Blog and there I read this astonishing 1982 tour-de-force from the legendary Guardian crossword setter “Araucaria”. The clue was
O hark the herald angels sing the Boy’s descent which lifted up the world (anag), and in what circumstances (5,9,7,5,6,2,5,3,6,2,3,6)
The solution occupied 9 of the down lights (See 2, See 2 etc.) and may be the longest anagram ever to appear in a mainstream crossword puzzle. Hats off to Araucaria!

The Elves have come up with new Christmas novelty biscuit.
Using nanotechnology we will implant into each biscuit a tiny sound system. When you bite the biscuit, it will play the first few notes from one of the Christmas songs below.
1. Jingle bells.
2. Dreaming of a white Christmas.
3. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
4. Santa Claus is comin' to town.
We're calling this prototype the "Four-Tune Cookie".
