is it any good?

i don't borrow or lend books. how about exchanging it with my still unread hardback 'kalooki night'?

we'll do the exchange over dinner if you wish. (but have to be sometimes in mid july onwards). travelling to southern phillipine next week...and watching olympics mid august...lucky me.
