MORE CRACKING FINDS, NIGEL AND ALEX, WHAT GREAT CHARITY SHOPS YOU'S HAVE

[wheel-lose]

brilliant alex,nice to find two members of ub40,a class band of the 80s,remember them well,still got records of theres in the loft:-)

[loobyloo6]

And here's another, 2 graphs for the price of 1, This book was a pound from Accrington's Age UK charity shop. A signed biography of Jeffery Archer, a hardbacked first edition print, by Michael Crick, this author has also written books about Man Utd. And a little bonus with this one is a postcard found in the inside page with Michael Crick's home address and phone number on, these have been masked out for obvious reasons, a nice note on the card to Audrey....................and the book is also signed and dedicated to Audrey...not bad for a quid.

Some great finds there Alex, looking forward to seeing the others. The UB40 find is top class - I still have the original vinyl release of Signing Off with the free 12" single.

[loobyloo6]

The other 2 are better than these IMO 😄

Both have really great autographs in them and I haven't seen any of them on our forum since it began...

[film4watcher]

Blimey Alex, you have some great charity shops near you. Two top finds. Look forward to the others.

Morning all....
Not to everone's palet is this one, almost brushed tis one aside, a stroke of luck finding this one.
This just happened to be the top book in a cardboard box donated as I was in The Hospce charityshop yesterday..."£2"   I was asked to pay for it...No Problem I said. This is the 2nd rev. edition from 1989 and it has a lovely graph in it of David Shepherd the world's leaing wildlife artist.Richard David Shepherd CBE FRSA (born 25 April 1931) is a British artist and one of the world's most outspoken conservationists. He is most famous for his paintings of wildlife, although he also often paints steam railways, aircraft and landscapes. His work has been extremely popular since the 1960s in limited edition print reproduction and poster form, as well as other media such as Wedgwood limited edition plates. He has written five books about his art. Pleased with this one.

Should also say sorry for not replying to this thread more often but i do read the results and must say well done to Nigel on some of his finds lately seems Alex and Nigel are the charity shop kings;)

I like that one Alex, that's a really nice find. David has a nice rolling signature.
