Last page woes

So annoyed!
Got to the last page of my book and it’s been ripped out!!! Serves me right for buying second hand off eBay I suppose!

What’s the book? If I have it i’ll take a photo of the last page for you!

It’s by Paige toon, the sun in her eyes. It’s a short story in the back of it though that the back page has gone. I was thinking of being cheeky and billing into waterstones tomorrow to read the last page! Confused

I was only thinking the other day ‘I wonder if people rip out pages of books that they’re selling second hand’ then thought no that’s silly. And it’s actually happened!!

Sorry, that’s one I don’t have.
As an ex bookseller I don’t think you’re cheeky at all to read the last page instore! (It was the guy who would come in for a full day and drop bits of his pork pie/sneeze into books that he’d never buy that we objected to....)

Thank you for looking anyway :) I regularly go to waterstones cafe and can’t believe the amount of customers I’ve seen take books from the shelf, read whilst eating their sandwich and cake, then put back on the shelf after an hour or so!

You could try the library; you might even be able to download it straight away if you have your membership up to date?

My two nearest libraries only have a couple of her older books which is why i ended up buying them from eBay. I checked the library download app thingy but it wasn’t even advertised on there! Never mind. Gives me an excuse to go into the book shop (and smell the books Grin)
