Commonplaces

Abstract

STORIES circulating in July that copies of the Touche Ross report into the affairs of the Library Association—distribution of which was initially restricted to members of LA Council—were to be had in the Charing Cross Road at thirty quid a go proved unfounded when I spent a morning poking about the bookshops there. True, one LA councillor told me that for a fiver he would wave his copy briefly in front of my face so that I could claim to have ‘seen’ it, but I declined on the ground that an aesthetic visual experience would butter no parsnips in this column.
