Karabadangbaraka to all virtual TARS! A small query
for any other 'Ransome wrinklies' on the Internet.
In the period when I first read AR (1943-47) part of
the magic of the new hardbacks was the smell of the
paper. From S&A up to GN? every new acquisition was
sniffed carefully to make sure that it was the genuine
article. Does anyone else remember it, and if so can
you help me pin down what the smell was? The closest I can manage
is sandalwood with a touch of ammonia.
