Another birthday and the best selection of birthday books I can remember. A lovely selection of new books and a couple of very fine antiquarian books about Sussex.
The antiquarian books, The Churches of Sussex and Castles, Mansions and Manors of Western Sussex, are both generously illustrated.
The new books are also beautifully produced and I’m slowly making my way through them. There is no doubt that today’s full-colour printed books are very high quality and publishers make them very attractive. I’m definitely on the fence if I’m asked whether I prefer the old or the new. They are so difficult to compare.
