Just sat down in my comfortable armchair to commence reading @andrewklavan's "When Christmas Comes". But before I start, I have to commend @MysteriousPress for their lovely edition - Christmas card-style cover art, compact size, perfect print size. How great books used to feel. https://t.co/2zQz3ZyY1Z
