a new book and a plea

I was very fortunate to receive this absolutely gorgeous book for Christmas from Miss M and her partner Just M

it s a different type of book than i usually read, 

it's a it of a Mystery, 

which i am usually not  very good at reading as 

i tend to get frustrated and skip to the last page to find out what happened

but i am determined to be good and just keep reading and let the story unfold

at the moment it has really got me intrigued

it's a lovely old fashioned looking book

i just love this inside cover, maybe because it looks like patchwork fabric

and it even comes with it's own  bookmark

which is just fabulous

sadly however i discovered that some how a page has been torn from the book

as Miss M and just M no longer have the receipt 

i am fairly certain that the book shop will not 

replace the book 

especially since i have starred reading it 

. . . . . 

so my plea is this if any of you

my lovely friends out in blogland 

have this book or know of someone who has it

could you possibly photocopy or scan pages 283 and 284

for me, as i just know that these pages will hold valuable clues to the story

i would really appreciate any help you could give me

Hope your hands are working on a project that you love

Ciao
