As usual when I try to make these sorts of lists, I find myself overwhelmed by how little I actually need, or even really desperately want.
I’m very lucky.

My clothing sizes are:

• Tops UK size 12, US size 10
• Bottoms don’t even try – they never fit
• Shoes UK size 5 1/2 – 6, US size 8 – 9

Please do consult Martin before getting anything, to avoid duplication!

Bookbinding
I am aware that many bookbinding items are excruciatingly expensive or a pain to obtain. If there is something you want to give me, but don’t speak enough binding jargon to obtain, I would be delighted to receive “money toward” any of these items. Martin has prices, if you want to do a price-based query (I’ll never know!)

• Japanese drill punch from Hewit’s
• Brass roll heating ring from P&S Engraving
• Single letter type holder from P&S Engraving
• Take me to Hewit’s and let me spend your money
