Just like Nigel, 2 for a £1 deal in a local charity shop yesterday and found 2 signed one's amongst them.
Book No 1
"Contact wounds" A war surgeon's education...sounds nteresting signed by author Jonathan Kaplan hardbacked frst edition bok from 2005. like new condition. Jonathan Kaplan is multi-talented. He is a doctor, specialising in frontline surgical work, but also an investigative reporter, documentary film-maker and very gifted writer. Contact Wounds is both prequel and sequel to his stunning debut memoir, The Dressing Station. Perhaps taking the hint from a reviewer's remark he is "at his best when writing about himself", this book focuses more on his own background, South African upbringing, early sexual experiences and education, but is otherwise the mixture as before - and none the worse for that. Must be worth the 50p I spent.
