Coal

Perhaps I was just being wishful at best, or foolishly naive at worst, but the thought really did go through my head in Edinburgh Airport at the start of the Easter holidays that one of the shops there might have had some special airport paperback edition of Brett Anderson's book 'Coal Black Mornings' for me to purchase and take on my holidays with me. What on earth was I thinking?

Anyway, thanks to the ever-fabulous Edinburgh libraries I now have a copy of the aforementioned book and it, along with the sofa, demands my attention...
