I'm probably going to annoy people here, but I was in a charity shop yesterday and they had three hardback, first edition Pratchetts: Interesting Times, Wee Free Men and Going Postal for £5 each. The thing was it was buy one get one free, so I could have got two of them for £2.50 each.
But I didn't as I already have all three as first editions.
I know what you mean nothing one day then three come all at once, That happened to me recently went into a second hand shop and nothing, then went in again the day after and there were three of them, couldn't believe it

I sometime wonder what happened when you suddenly see a whole bunch of Pratchetts. Did the owner die and his/her family got rid of them? Did his/her spouse get rid of them in a fit of jealously? That's the sort of thing my ex would have done.
I just can't imagine myself saying: I'm fed up of all these Pratchett book lying around attracting dust - I think I'll take them to a charity shop.

I try and keep my books in as good condition as i can, I suppose i'm lucky that so far the books that i've bought second hand are in pretty good condition anyway if they are a bit used it adds to their charm i think, as long as they are not in too bad a state

I've found some good books in second-hand stores but never Pratchett. I always check the books, sticky pages are a no-no. My best bargain lately wasn't books though. I found some Goon Shows on LP, 20c each. Howzat?
Some of my paperback DW's are looking quite sad. I've started replacing a few but I put the old ones away. I just can't part with them.

I got a pile of them from a car boot sale. HB's were £2 & PB's 75p, but, as I bought all of them I got them cheaper, £20. Two of the HB'S were signed. I did have some already, but I couldn't leave them. Boy were they heavy to carry too.
