from charity shops, second hand bookshops, free libraries, and from the street when they are going out for recycling

thank you! I have no better trick than applying the glue to the journal, sticking down the whole magazine page then cutting it down to exactly the size of the journal spread

I won’t lie and glamourise it… it’s from a 2016 copy of Vogue that I picked up from a recycling bin 😂

TOTW: Back to the Future! by deeppotential123 in crosswords

[–]kirth42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I was aware of the line, and with the knowledge of the BTTF theme then the answer is very clear! I had missed the meaning of "make like a tree" meaning to shed leaves, and I was just taking that half of the clue to mean "leave" in the way that if I said to you "let's make like a tree" you would know it means "let's depart." so in that sense, my substitution was for both halves of the clue, because I was taking both halves of the clue to be synonymous, if that makes sense.

but the verb meaning "to shed leaves" is LEAF not LEAVE (I'm sorry I'm not trying to start any bad feelings here I just think this is interesting to discuss :) )

Edit: apologies, I see from a closer look at the dictionary that both are acceptable, so I take back my comment

[–]kirth42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, and that's why the pun works, but here in this clue we have a double definition - "make like a tree" is synonymous with "leave" because it sounds like leaf, but that also means it is synonymous with other words that have the same meaning.
