From our local bookshop, and a rare books seller in East Lothian.

I already have a fuller more original Scots play script for the 16th century play. But hoped that the slightly modernised/simplified version might be more suitable for my needs (including IF game design ...). Martin borrowed it for me from the uni library last week, and after a quick peek to be sure it was what I needed I could then confidently buy my own copy for longer-term use.

I love the Alice books. And collect playing cards. This is a new (last week) release of this deck. Plus a bonus fun book. We couldn't pick them up in person from the local bookshop on Friday - they needed to be ordered in. So I got them delivered, and they arrived in the post today.

Finally finished playing Jonathan Green's gamebook Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland. Much fingers stuck in the pages, 80s style, this morning! Enjoyed reading to end, but scuppered by I think one unfair puzzle near the end. But extremely happy solved puzzle before! Very imaginative writing.

Just ordered the second thing with my IFComp prize money. Our local bookshop is stocking this. Newly published next week. I will report back what it's like. Still have some IFComp prize money left.
