The book on Keith Haring turned out to be a lovely cloth-bound edition published on the occasion of an exhibition of his work. Carefully selected works and essays, with special features such as a piece of black card similar to that which covered old New York subway advertisements that he would draw on in chalk and a centrefold. It was a bit dusty and but hardly what you would call tatty, however Sophie, ever the discount girl, suggested I ask for one. The guy at the counter carefully inspected the book inside and out, and pronounced a 20% discount! Had probably been sitting on the shelf for five years. Nice. I'll show it to you next time you visit.
