Any ideas why when you click on the Standard Editions section of the website, the list of books (starting with 114 - Badger) has above it the line:
Search Results for '£3 Book Bonanza'
Is there something we should know? ;-)

| Well, I'm interested in a bargain! I don't know about £3 N/N books being of any quality, although I cannot afford silly prices for N/N books, but I'm still chuffed to bits with a few months ago paying £24.99 for a N/N with a perfect unfaded D/Jacket (apart from a small tear on inside front cover paper page of book) and it being virtually unmarked otherwise even though it was an ex library copy with one small 'withdrawn' stamp on top edge of pages and of extremely clean appearence without loads of horrible marks & big 'withdrawn' stamps all over many pages. Yep......£24.99. It was N/N no: 77 (The Soil)!!!!!(One of the golden 13 & my only one of the golden 13 that I possess so far). Tim Bernhard (N/N Collectors Club) values the book at £650. Even allowing for the little imperfections It must be £350 worth??!! Good old internet sales site which was flogging books. It was cheaper than the unclipped D/J states @ £27.50 when new!! Even if I could afford more, this is surely much more fun? I like the challenge to hunt out a bargain! Anyone else agree? Good hunting cheap & decent N/N books at very affordable prices to the average collector! Lee Slaughter.

Fine sentiments!
As for an ex-lib The Soil...You can get a 'near fine' copy from Loe Books on Abe at £450 so a valuation nearer £150-£200 might be closer to the mark for yours. Still, a damn fine bargain nonetheless.... that buzz is what it's all about!

| Actually, just noticed there is a 'mint' copy of The Soil on eBay with an (as yet unmatched) starting price of £399....

| Mine has an unfaded spine on the D/J & with my income it was a delight to obtain it honestly for £24.99!.......Oh & £2.50 odd postage! It did give me a buzz actually; far more than if I was far richer & just paying full collectible price for it just to fill a gap! By the time Xmas is here I will have 40 titles (37 1st editions) after 2 & a bit years collecting. Lee
