Five paperback books on a wooden table. Top row: Census by Jesse Ball (a lovely Cover with the title and author in a kind of stringy line drawing plus also an adult and child holding hands in the same freewheeling style), then Maigret and The Ghost by Georges Simenon (photo of an array of Picasso-like paintings of naked women, stacked along a wall and on the floor). Bottom row: A Man’s Head by George’s Simenon (photo of the Seine at twilight with a bridge); Loitering with Intent by Muriel Spark (odd cutesy illustration of a woman wearing beret and a man sitting at a desk); and finally Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (a Penguin Modern Classic with a black and white rather distressed photo of a man wearing some kind of outfit or uniform looking down to his right with a had to his breast.)
Bought some old books.
