- Musician Nick Cave has donated 2,000 books from his personal collection to an Oxfam charity shop in Hove, East Sussex.
- The donated books were previously part of an art installation by Cave, which had toured Canada and Denmark.
- The collection is described as "interesting" and "varied", encompassing philosophy, art, religion, and fiction, with works by authors such as Salman Rushdie and Ian McEwan.
- Fans have flocked to the shop, discovering personal items – such as plane tickets used by Cave and an old envelope that once held Cave’s son’s tooth – inside some of the books.
- Cave's publicist said that the musician would not comment on the donation, expressing a wish for the discoveries to remain "intriguing mysteries".
