Letter: Tin man

Published 10 July 1999

From Julie Devison

Keith Appleyard refers to the eccentric classification of books in his local bookshop
(Letters, 29 May, p 55).

I was perusing the children’s crafts section recently, here in the main
library of Tuscaloosa, when I couldn’t help but chuckle out loud. Tucked away in
the section on metalwork was a complete set of HergĂ©’s Adventures of
Tintin.
