Charity shop finds w/e 18Nov12

Another five this week.

 

A Bar'l of Apples HB (Canadian) 1/1 1971 by Gregory Clark - £2

 

Gregory was a Canadian war veteran (1st Word War trenches then battlefield reporter in 2nd World War), journalist and humorist. He passed away in 1977 aged 84. This book is dual signed. Not sure who the first sig is from, but I was able to authenticate Gregory's signature.

 

 

Fifty Years Of Racing at Chepstow HB 1/1 1976 by Pat Lucas - £1

The Watford Football Club Illustrated Who's Who PB 1/1 1996 by Trefor Jones - £2.75

 

A scarce book recognised as the most informative player's who who for Watford FC. Has some slight wear, so it will not be used as a ttm project, but it is signed by Trefor, and is a very useful resource for me as it is quite comprehensive.

Sorry, I told a porkie. The opportunity arose to visit a charity shop today, and I found a brand new unread 2012 1st edition signed for £1. Could not believe my luck.
