Yeah it used to be about *finding* books not ordering them online - but with resources dwindling I doub't anybody cares about the fine print. I use both but like most I guess - a cheap find kicks an internet purchase out of the pond. KC

Found these titles in a charity shop this weekend. Pretty unusual to find anything worth picking up in the charities these days so was quite chuffed with these. 99p each but with a "buy 1 get 1 free" offer so £2 for the four! John Farris - The Uninvited - NEL - 1984"The man was naked. Naked and horribly familiar. She was staring at the stripped, perfect body of her former fiance Ned. Except that he was dead already. Had been tragically killed in a car crash a full year ago." William K Wells - Effigies - Granada - 1980"Unnatural things. Seances. Satanic rites. Accidents and unexplained deaths. Mutilations. A child's severed hand..." Russ Martin - Chains - Futura - 1979"The book of evil. A young girl learns its secrets and a devil does her bidding. Those around have no choice but to obey." Terrel Miedaner - The Soul of Anna Klane - NEL - 1979"A novel of life after death that will haunt you to the end of your days."

I use both but like most I guess - a cheap find kicks an internet purchase out of the pond. True, but as I said, with so few options available to me here in bumfuck North Carolina, I take whatever I can get and don't look back. Both have shipped, can't wait to get them.

The junk shop has been kind to me recently. Got these today for a buck each - Return of Living Dead has a different cover from the one I remember. Last week got three Coronet Kane paperbacks in really good nick.

Picked up these Ray Bradbury Corgis at a charity book sale yesterday- $2 each. The cover art is pretty good I reckon.
