Yes I prefer physical books, I was a bookbinder for 32 years after all. But I do like Kindle books as well for the convenience and it’s only 99p as well! I prefer Vinyl and CDs but sometimes it isn’t convenient. […]

Sorry. I should have been a little clearer. It’s this https://www.acerecords.co.uk/fantastic-voyage
