My reference book has gone walkabout :-(

For the last week or so I've been at the stage of writing the WIP where I could do with re-reading Troublesome Things. Which of course has sprouted legs and walked off somewhere. Granted, I have not looked *everywhere* in the house yet, but it doesn't appear to be on any of the bookcases. Were it a penny-plus-postage item on Amazon I'd shrug and buy another copy to use until mine turns up, but it's not. I may have to bite the bullet if I can't find it this weekend, but I'd really have liked to have it to hand over the next week or so's plot noodling. It does appear to have been republished recently under a new title and publisher, so I may just get myself a new copy of the current edition rather than a second-hand copy of the out of print edition, and hope that it's the same text.

I may indulge and get a couple of Katharine Briggs' books while I'm at it. At least at the moment I can point to a manuscript-in-progress where they are clearly a legitimate research expenditure for business tax purposes.
