This week's charity shop finds

[thehornets]

Quite a good week of finds with some interesting books.

Up first are three for £1 from my favourite shop that has served me well for some time now. Get a lot of my ttm books from here as well.

Rome Burning HB 1/1 2007 by Sophia McDougall. In a mylar cover and almost like new. She is an author of alternate history novels as well as a playwright and poet.

Kill The Messenger HB 1/1 1991 by Bernard Ingham

Best known as Margaret Thatcher's chief press secretary while she was PM. Nice this as it is dated as well, but I will have to read it now to find out why he wants to kill me. 😉

Douglas Hurd The Public Servant An Authorised Biography HB 1/1 1998 by Mark Stuart but signed by Douglas Hurd

Like buses - a second Douglas Hurd in consecutive weeks. I now have his own autobiography, this one, and one of his fictional novels signed by him. A major politician who served in both Margaret Thatcher's and John Major's cabinets.

My other find this week was for £2, but I am still researching it.

America : Back On Track USA HB 1/1 2006 by Senator Edward M. Kennedy

Whoever signed it, signed it in a hurry sideways on the fep. It does have some similarities with one of the Senator's signatures (there are some variations from what I have seen so far). Have not spent much time on this yet as have been busy.

Great finds especially the Senator Kennedy one

[film4watcher]

For someone who said they won't be looking in as many charity shops as usual, you're doing awfully well, Nigel. Four excellent finds and I hope the Kennedy book is good.
