Good Afternoon.

This is a great improvement on last week's - ie it seems a lot easier.

However I am stuck on the last three :
28A - What some casual readers do? Take drugs (3-3)
D?G-???
19D - Trim copper heading to seize book (3,4)
CUT ???K
&
32D - Spanish article about golf catches on soon (7)
E?C?O?G

I suspect one (at least) of the letters in 32D is wrong!

Any & all help gratefully welcomed as ever.

I'm now absenting myself from this machine for a bit to have some lunch & will check back in due course, so that profuse thanks may be delayed a little while.

Many thanks for all three of these.

In the light of your response I've edited my answer to 36A, though I'm not sure my new answer makes any more sense than the previous one. That, however, is my fault.

Thanks again.

Grunger, 32 worked for me...

El. Spanish article
Re, about
G - golf
On, in clue (... the stuff preceding encloses, catches...)

E re l on g.

That bit - E re l on g was given earlier.

H'mm, I suppose that's true, Grunger - I hadn't seen it as needing one (but that's because I seldom parse things properly ... if at all!)
