David Farrer Gentlemen. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Donald: I've read all of them. 7 more are in my in-pile.
Kenny: The pictures show part of the political/economic/history section. There are also smaller sections on Scotland, photography, reference, transport, business and fiction. I found a copy of Plato in my wife's collection! At the moment I am reading "Antony" by Allan Massie and have just finished his "Caesar". The "Capitalism for Kids" is a genuine title!

David Rossie "The Isles" by Norman Davies is a great work, as is his history of Europe
And that's not to mention the other good books you have shown!

Kenny McCormack I was impressed when I thought I spied a poetry book, I thought it said "The Poetry of........", but I couldn't make out the name of the poet. So I enlarged, curious to see what poet Mr Farrer has on his shelves, but when it was enlarged I seen that it actually said "The Poverty of Communism"!
I suppose its better that 'The Poetry of Red Clydeside' that was sort of popular in the late 1940's/early 1950's. When I say popular I don't mean anybody except a few acadmic types like Hamish Henderson were interested in it.
However Mr Farrer, why do you have no editions of the classics? Why no Plato's Republic, or Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics? Indeed I couldn't spot Adam Smiths Wealth of Nations (though I know you can't see everything). There is no Homer or Dante either.
Btw - that book 'Capitalism for Kids', genuine or ironic title?
Also like the prominence you give to the Black Book of Communism

Donald McCampbell Before we compliment you on your choice of reading material you'd better tell us if you've read them all, or are some planted there to impress us?
