NICE ONE ALEX AND 2 GREAT FINDS NIGEL, I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND LAUREN BACALL SIGNED BOOK OVER HERE, BRILLIANT A SUPERB FIND.

[thehornets]

#130 - Sorry, that's one for my collection. I only flog the finds that do not fit my reading or collecting interests like the Polo book.

#131 - Someone was having a laugh with that Sir Bobby Charlton. I laughed out loud when I saw it just now. I especially liked the kisses, that was a nice touch. 🙂 The Dame Helen Mirren book was a good pickup though. £6 is a very fair price - it's a lovely book as well.

[loobyloo6]

Dave, Certainly not Sir Bobby mate.

Nigel...Bloody superb finds...especially the Lauren Bacall signed book..that's the DJ I sent over to be signed a couple of months ago..Brilliant find.

Nice Matt Lucas find too. Well done.

[serenamorgan]

more great finds guys, love the Lauren Bacall one Nigel

[ra1anne]

some great finds well done guys, that bobby charlton is hilarious lol

[loobyloo6]

Here we go.......The 2nd book I found yesterday was also 50p and purchased from the Sense charity shop. The new edition with additional material of Alan Bennett's "Writing Home" signed by the author :-D. You'd have picked this one up Nigel I'm sure. Alan Bennett (born 9 May 1934) is an English playwright, screenwriter and author. Born in Leeds, he attended Oxford University where he studied history and performed with The Oxford Revue. He stayed to teach and research medieval history at the university for several years. His collaboration as writer and performer with Dudley Moore, Jonathan Miller and Peter Cook in the satirical revue Beyond the Fringe at the 1960 Edinburgh Festival brought him instant fame. He gave up academia, and turned to writing full time, his first stage play Forty Years On being produced in 1968. Great find and I've just found a Waterstones booksellers Deansgate, Manchester, paper label ""Signed by the Author" inside the book. Happy days

[thehornets]

Nice one Alex, he is of course a very good writer. In a way I did pick this up. 🙂 Jan 2008 I found signed hardback 1st edition of this book in a charity shop.

[loobyloo6]

Lol....1994 edition signed to title page...I do look at your collection Nigel and double check wether you have an autograph that I have found and if it matches : Great site you have for all to see. Cheers.
