This book was found using the power of comunication. I was listening to Radio 4s book review in my car on the way to work, the author of this book was explaining the LOST concept to the radio 4 reviewers and guests and he either purposefully divulged the location of the book or unknowingly announced where he lost THIS book. He did admit that he felt as if he would be stopped for shoplifting after placing the book in the cheese counter of the Whitstable Summerfield supermarket. I quickly contacted directory enquires obtained the supermarkets telephone number via txt message then contacted the supermarket,. When I asked the lady at the end of the telephone if they had found a book in the cheese counter, she replied with quite an amount of excitement “I found that book” and described it as a library book. I asked the lady if she could post the book to my home in Canvey Island, Essex England located directly across the Thames Estuary to Whitstable. Saturday 10th June day of the 1st match for England in the world Cup of 2006 I receive the lost book, I found it now I have to read it and set it on its way once more but not before adding a small cargo to the pages.
