I tend to buy any that i find in Second Hand book shops even if i've already got them, I can swop any spare ones that i've got with anyone who has any that i haven't got, If that makes sense I've only got 2 swops so far "Wyrd Sisters" and "Going Postal"

I've done that, but lately I've run out of people to lend them to, so now I usually leave them so someone else can get a good buy. Sometimes I still get them if it's a rescue situation, as in I suspect they'll be dumped if not bought soon.
I just bought an odd one (for $1.06): a mass-market-paperback-sized hardback of the US HarperCollins edition of Men at Arms, with the HarperCollins cover so it's not a rebinding, marked as the 12th printing so they shouldn't be rare, yet I've never seen one before.

 

[Alanz]

Yea, i think i'll have to do that , just to give others a chance

 

[The Mad Collector]

My local secondhand book shop has recently gained over 50 Pratchett books in stock for about £2.50 each as paperback or £6 as hardback, as I have them I'm leaving them there, somebody is going to have a great time in there at some point

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

That shop may get a flood of visitors soon then Mad.

Bought a few books down south on my trip, One that i did find was a Book called "Guards Guards" the play, I suppose you all know it but to me it was unusual only 50p, I did buy another second hand one short stories by Authors including Sir Terry can't remember what it was called had a Roman Soldier on the front, I also got about 8 books from WH Smith as they were buy one get another half price plus ordered 2 off Amazon the other day so boosted up the Collection no end, Though i did get Unseen academicals for £1 in another Second hand shop cos i thought i didn't have it but i have so i have it spare now, That makes three spare paperbacks along with Wyrd Sisters and Going Postal, I'll get there.......

[Alanz]

Well i bought a brand new Wee Free Men Hardback for a £1 the other day

 

[Bickaxe]

Nipped into WHSmiths earlier as they had 2 for £10 offer on all fiction paperbacks.
Catch 22 (Joseph Heller) and Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sausages (Tom Holt) are now mine

 

[Ghost]

bizarre combination

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I have the Tom Holt one on my to be read bookcase.

 

[Alanz]

I thought about putting little stickers on the edge of the ones that i've not read yet so i can access them quickly, I have them in a plastic case under the Bed

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Do you have to give them the kiss of life when you take one out.
