The Boer War and Bookmunchers

Two BMs found inside “The Boer War” by Thomas Pakenham.  I know they’re here munching my books but it really upsets me when I catch them in action, much like I knew that girls in my high school class was stealing my lunch but got really irritated when I caught one of them with their grubby hands in my bag or worse still saw one of them with their grubby faces munching on my lunch.  BMs clearly have an interest in South African history – Pakenham spent 8 years researching and writing this book and used mainly previously unpublished material, so included some interesting and juicy details … if no-one else enjoyed its juiciness, there is a pair of fattened BMs in the observation chamber who certainly did.  Chamber now has 13 BMs.
