Early for my 1pm meeting I walked from the SeaBus terminal to the Salvation Army Thrift Store at 3rd and Lonsdale where I inspected the fifty feet of seven foot-high book shelves, my head tilted to align wth the spines, bending forward, sometimes stoping on my haunches, then up again, moving on, bending forward, etc.
At the end of my inspection I had but a single book in hand: George Bowering's Kerrisdale Elegies (1984), an edition signed to "Bill S.", who might well have been Bill Schermbrucker, a long-serving Capilano University English professor who passed away in 2019.
