Oh sheeeeeet Ive got one. A few years back when I was out of work and strapped for cash I sold my Ghoul ( Guy N Smith ) on ebay as I knew it would fetch a few bob. Think I got about £18 for it too. Felt great then. Ive got virtually all his books but that gap and knowing I will not find it again ( let alone in that condition ) kills me. A 24 carat plonker I am . Also sold Werewolf by Moonlight too. Oh crap I'm welling up  |

I hate these kinds of lazy "descriptions". The word "possible" means the seller could not be bothered to put in a proper description of this book and is just covering every eventuality. There are a lot of sellers like this on Abe these days, who just copy and paste the same generic descriptions into most of the books they sell. Unforgiveable when they are asking $25 for a paperback.

Yes David,
you know its just a coverall and any old crap could walk through the door. It's largely people who know nothing about books and would just as easily sell socks.
What's wrong with 'reading copy' My experience of decent book sellers was that 'reading copy' always turned out to be in far better condition than you expected.
