... when a book goes missing.

We watched a documentary about Able Archer and the nucular war that almost happened.

It reminded me of a couple of books I wanted to read again: Trinity's Child, and Down to a Sunless Sea.

The first was on the shelves, exactly where it should be, and has gone on the "to read" heap (which now needs a Sherpa to navigate). The second is gone - lost. Not even in the book database, so really gone. And out of print, although I can get a second hand copy, and I will.

I can't remember which is the common one. Which one are you after?

Oh ,the version where everybody dies, of course! That other version sounds dreadful.

The later is the most common version - it's the UK paperback edition...
