Carrying on our series of Little Black Books. One day, if we do this properly, we’ll have an index so thorough it will make Google redundant — no more wading through their top bar of advertisers, who seem to gorge on the market’s clientele thanks to their hefty bank balances and in-spite of their limited beauty.
