Hello, all. Two young male customers aged around 30, one of them perhaps 5' 10" tall and with blond hair, the other somewhat shorter with dark hair, both well dressed, possibly a gay couple, are strongly suspected of theft from the shop. Believed resident in Cape Town and likely there now. The book in question can easily be identified from our description. Mitford Barberton. THE BARBERS OF THE PEAK. No inscription, boards clean, binding tight, corners of boards little curled, some foxing to map and end pages and edges lightly browned, a few neat and small ballpoint dates inserted on pages 198, 202, 203 and 204 else contents fine. This is not the first time that they have visited us. In 2009 we believe that they lifted a purse from one of the staff. These are professional thieves. Their modus operandi is very confident, they look at africana but decline help / talk/ interference with their study of the books. Do not leave the shop without staff being instructed to keep a close watch or they will exit quickly with your goods, and they will wait an indefinite period for the opportunity - they were in our shop for most of the morning. If you know of this couple, or if they attempt to sell you this book, please contact us, Please if you purchase anything at all ensure that you have valid id and contact details from them. regards Ian -- Ian Balchin Fables Bookshop, 119 High Street, Grahamstown, 6139.
