Shorty's Book Collection

Shorty (my maternal uncle, more commonly referred to as Uncle B but hereinafter simply referred to Shorty) had an acoustic neuroma removed three months ago. He’s still recovering and has migrated out of the wheelchair and is using a walking stick – albeit a little wobbly. His eyesight was affected as was some hand coordination. But his sharp mind and quick wit still remain! As part of his rehabilitation I’ve set him up with a blog called Shorty’s Book Collection. There are multiple purposes for the blog – it serves as post-op therapy to improve his hand coordination, provides an opportunity to write about his beloved books and, hopefully, generate some interest from blog followers who may be able to help him offload his massive book collection that fills his double garage and prevents his wife, Aunty D, from parking her car under cover!
