We have also received similar strange letters, usually with a Tonbridge,
Kent, postmark and always written on the reverse of a piece of card from a
cereal packet.

How curious. We've had one identical, on brown paper, received in April
this year. It's filed in our comments system. Helen Leech

Subject: Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Health
Hello all,
An odd question this. Today we recived through the post a letter on which
our address was just about correct (enough, obviously, to get here). It was
sent from Gatwick, and inside the envelope was nothing but a piece of card
cut from a cereal box - it looks like 'All Bran'.
On the back of the card is written, in block capital letters:
You should of course be circumspect in adding to that long line of books
purporting or implying that "investment in shares" is a secure hedge against
inflation.
Beneath this, in big block capital red letters is says:
Reading can seriously damage your health
Now, while this is in its own little way quite amusing, its also slightly
strange and has got a couple of the staff here a little worried, and I just
wondered if any other libraries had recieved such enigmatic mail like our
letter? Anyone?
Cheers,
Peter Collins
