In my local charity bookshop today they had two hardback editions of WH, one of which I bought - sixth impression 1939 for £5.
What made in particularly interesting was the bookmark left in it by the previous owner, a newspaper cutting about skating on Derwentwater. It is hard to date the cutting, but on the reverse there are stocks and shares prices, which seem to date from the 1940s. Does anyone know when Derwentwater froze in that time enough to allow skating?
