Of course the president’s book isn’t very good. You don’t get to be a university president by writing well.

There was a poster in its former location asking tourists not to poke it to see if it's actually foam. I expect the sign is also there at its current location. Up close, you can see all the pokes! And it is actually made of foam. Cheesily wonderful to visit

The copy of Harper Lee's seminal 1960 work was discovered in a box of American books given to the charity's bookshop in Portobello Road, west London. What an amazing story! bbc.com/news/articles/cmd79w…
