Tangerines? What's this about tangerines? I was carrying soup, bread and juice! :D
The book was The Modern Antiqiarian by Julian Cope. Been meaning to buy it for ages, but it was out of print for a while, so only available at silly prices. I got a mint first edition for £25, which was probably selling for three times that not so long ago.
The smack was just bought half by chance. No need to do it, but why not have a bit o' junk occasionally?
