Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
I'd send you the link, but it's best you find it there yourself in case my
link would include details on price.
If you find it there cheaper, please send the link -I've already ordered,
but it'll be interesting.
Details on how to contact play.com would be appreciated too if you have them
(can't find it on there).
Whereabouts are you?
-Kevin.
