I read an interview with Twiggy in which she talked about clothes swap parties. Apparently women meet up, bring along clothes that don’t fit any more or that they no longer like and then spend the evening stripping off and trying everything on. It immediately struck me that you could do the same with books. Only without the stripping. Which is a shame, thinking about it.
