Where do people get cheap books? I find Oxfam good. I like Amazon as well. I've just bought Amy Tan's 'Saving Fish from Drowning' from Amazon for 65pence. Sometimes you can get books for 1p. The postage costs a bit, but it's still cheap.

If you know your stuff you can sometimes pick up some valuable books at these places. I have a second edition of Decline and Fall I bought in a jumble sale for hardly anything at all.
It's always worth checking for modern first editions as well.

That's very interesting. I've never found much in books apart from pressed flowers. I do have a first edition of 'Orlando' with press reviews in it that came out in 1928.
 On the cheap book front -  Caffe Nero in Cambridge has a shelf of books people can borrow  and where they can donate books. I donated the first six volumes of 'A Dance to the Music of Time'. Two weeks later my wife came home with six volumes of 'A Dance to the Music of Time' and said she was going to read them and wasn't it amazing luck she found free copies in Caffe Nero.

Hi Peter, At least you and your wife, have similar interests in Books??

Hi Peter,  Hope that your wife does Not read out loud   just in case you happen to er?? ----  Interrupt Lol! Lol!!
I gather she does not know you have already Read Them

Peter, Possibly because you were 'chuckling' so much whilst reading, that your wife decided to have a 'check' for herself, Er?  to see if the laughter became 'contagious' maybe. Lots of Lol!  Lol!!
