While lurching about Townsville's beaut Mundingburra monthly market , eagerly looking for items of interest , our Shipping Reporter was shown views on a smart phone of a recently acquired large book containing 82 American standard hymns in braille.
It included a handwritten 1940 inscription from Gordon and Florence , in Wilkie , a town in Saskatchewan , Canada. Our waterfront roundsman was also told that two l728 Bibles , in various languages , from a Copenhagen library, had been found in Townsville.
Feeling like a Mormon after exposure to the religious news , he came away from the market with two bundles of postcards and three books , two about WW2, the other a bumper American publication containing the complete original illustrated works of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle .
(Braille, Canada , Bibles.)
