Hmmm - looks to me like we're dealing with a cereal trouble-maker.

      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.

                              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,
