Really? I thought it would be more.

Due to inflation and the general rising costs I hope the buggers don't put it up to a guinea.

My pound shop doesn't sell books!

My pound shop doesn't sell books!

This one doesn't all that often, and the books it does sell are generally pants - but just occasionally, there's a real gem in there.

i love the works, its cheaper than amazon and very close to the womens clothes shops in swansea so i can escape and have a good browse in there, and she normally cant say anything about me buying books in there when she is carrying her own carrier bags

Not a book bargain, but a DVD one. I was looking through the local charity shops and as I was leaving one I noticed what I thought was a VHS video of James Clavell's 'Shogun' TV series. So I walked a way and had a think and went backand looked closer. It was the entire sries on DVD in a box set - UNOPENED - for £3.99. Even the guy in the shop got excited because he'd thought it was a VHS as well.

I read the book years ago and enjoyed the series (esprcially the shodow of the helicopter during the opening credits ).

I'm hunting down two hardbacks of CJ Sansom (Matthew Shardlake Series). 'Dissolution' and 'Dark Fire'.

Any idea how I can get them or do I have to go to the printers and beg? Tried all my usual haunts and the charity shops and the charity stalls and the York genteel black holes that know how to read!

I'm getting fed up with the sad sighs and understanding nods and the blank 'CJ Sansom? I don't know him!' comments.

Does anyone know any speciaslised trusted websites that deal in hardbacks? Have gone off e-bay since I had an unfortunate experience with a seller.
I am prepared to pay the original price but I don't want to pay the earth!

 

[Tonyblack]

Amazon has the hardcover of Dark Fire for £7.

Play.com has Dissolution in hardback for £38.37

First editions of Dissolution seem to be going for silly prices.

 

[meerkat]

I know! Thanks Tony. I'll buzz off there now before someone grabs it!

 

[meerkat]

Thanks Tony. Brought both from Amazon. The Dissolution was about the same as play.com.

Happy now! My day improves!

 

[Tonyblack]

Happy to help!
