I've read the first 6 up to Sharps Rifles, but it's rather difficult to read them in order.
Never watched the TV series so can't compare them but really enjoy the books.

Sharpe is his bread and butter, but there are much better series and individual books. I'd recommend the Warlord Trilogy, Gallows Thief, Azincourt and The Grail Quest series.
I remember a few of the big value buys I got during my trip to the UK. In fact, I happened to look into the window of an Oxfam bookshop on the way to the British Museum, and had to persuade my mother to wait until the shop opened, as there was a copy of the scriptbook for The Quatermass Experiment, the original Quatermass serial, which I had been searching for for a very long time. It cost six pounds, or, at the time, about $15 Australian. But it would have cost me at least $30 Australian to get it anywhere else via the internet or antique bookshops mail order.
And on the 15th of January, I am heading to that major bargain event, the Lifeline Bookfest up at Brisbane.

Just been to The Works/Booksale here in Cardiff and got The Last Hero (paperback) for £2.99 and Hogfather-The Illustrated Screenplay for £1.99. 
You may have the same luck in your local branch.
Incidentally, for those of you with the hardback version of The Last Hero - there are more illustrations in the paperback version, so it's well worth getting a copy.
