A right mixed bag of interesting and unusual signed items from yesterday - 4 books, 1 double cd, and two 7" singles. I suspect most shoppers were looking for Christmas presents as I do not normally find this much in one day.
Another Log On The Fire HB 1/1 2011 by Oliver Preston - £1
Oliver is well known cartoonist from various publications, and this is a great book.
The Peace Process HB 1/1 2010 by Afif Safieh - £3
Very pleased with another international diplomat. Afif is the most experienced Palestinian official having served in the three most politically significant capitals: London, Washington, and Moscow.

Aristocrats HB 1/1 1983 by Robert Lacey - £1
Well respected and popular historian and biographer. Really nice shape book that has been well looked after. Will be 30 years old next year.
The Court Of The Air HB 1/1 by Stephen Hunt - £1
Signed to a plain affixed bookplate. There is also a card inside attesting this was given as a prize to someone. First in the Jackelian series of books that now boast six volumes.

Like In Movies (translated title) 2009 by Jari Sillanpää - £0.99
This is a two cd release by the second best selling solo artist in Finland. It is a collection of him singing songs from the movies. Quite a nice find, and the cd insert is nicely signed.
4 fados por Antonio Rocha 7" single 1967 - 25p
Antonio Rocha is a Portuguese singer. I found the following page on google about him -

Los Differentes 7" single 1972 - 25p
As far as I can tell this lot may have been a festival/holiday band.
