Library is discarding 7 hardcover Dorothy Sayers Peter Wimsey books. Anyone interested? I can put a pic up on the FB page.
Yeah, kind of, but mailing hardcover books doesn't really sound worth it?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I'd ship media mail, probably like $3

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I couldn't countenance shipping hardcovers to Australia, but I'm curious as to whether Gaudy Night is among them.

I want them if it's literally less than $5. Thank you!

Gud, you cannot be worthless if you have value to someone. I value your intellect, your comments, your dedication to our community. I can't tell you what to feel, but I can tell you that you matter to me and I would miss you if you weren't here.

I'm watching yet another British reality show, this one where people who are thinking of moving to Europe are looking around at houses. In 90% of all these shows, from cooking to real estate to gardens, they use the same incidental music, such as the music they use for See The Lovely Countryside Our Tent Is In! on GBBO. Everything I've heard on GBBO I've heard in a half-dozen different shows, all from different production companies. Unless everybody gets their incidental music from the same sound shop.

I was once discombobulated to discover that the music on David Attenborough's Trials of Life sounded almost exactly like the music on Doctor Who during the period when John Nathan-Turner was producer. Near as I can tell it's wholly coincidental, the music was done by different people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Connie, and billytea, you have discovered the exciting world of Library Music.
Which is where film/tv production companies buy a subscription to a library of musical cues and thus save themselves the expense of hiring a composer to do an original score. The same cues get used over and over in different productions.
They have been around for a long time and record collectors love to get hold of the old original LPs which had cues for Groovy Space Disco, or Bongo Teenagers Attack or Stinging Strings of Psychotic Break.
