"The east has witnessed a wave of nostalgia in recent years for aspects of the old East Germany, or DDR, where citizens had few freedoms but were guaranteed jobs and social welfare. The trend is not limited to the region...."
***To Walker Library, to pick up a couple of books being held. Then to the Wedge coop.
***"Pan Macmillan is adding a further twist to the erotica trend, acquiring a racy re-telling of Charlotte Bronte's classic, Jane Eyre.
"Publishing director Wayne Brookes bought UK and Commonwealth rights from Vivienne Schuster and Felicity Blunt at Curtis Brown in the debut novel, Jane Eyre Laid Bare, by Eve Sinclair."
