Just started helping out in a charity book store (got's to do something twist hangovers). Something, long story shortcuts, I''ve persuaded them to give me a space for books that would appeal to the, ahem, undrunk challenged. Suggestions, please (and bear in mind that it's UK and used books)?
PS Managed to nab a very rare copy of "Dr McCoy's Cocktail Guide".

Who's Kim Deal? Sounds like you have a handle on the situation. Appears to be you are a rare book hound. Send a few more titles. It's easy to reference them on the web.

Here's what I feel, there's gotta be loads of Raymond Chandler second-hand books knocking about. Marlowe is one of the best literary drunks about ever.

When I was 18-19 years old Kim would pay me and my buddy to get fake prescriptions filled for her. Or maybe it was Kelley I don't remember we usually spent the money on beer.

Well, she stopped drinking a while ago, but still smokes like a chimney! Here is to Dayton, Ohio! There is nothing better than some wonderful Pixies or some Breeders. Plus, she has a great smile.

Re: All I Want Is A Girl As Cool As Kim Deal*
New guy here... found myself in the midst of a hijacked thread... alcohol challenged to boot... so Kim Deal I've found was a member of the Pixies. That tells me there are a number of old farts on this thread since that was early nineties stuff along with Bad Brains but I digress. So, Kim Deal has nothing to do with this thread and can't determine what the topic might be from reading the subsequent posts. Would someone please fill me in?
