The film is close to my heart, and was one of three it took years to identify in a pre-internet age after seeing just the first few minutes as a child and then being sent to bed (the others were Island of Terror and The Uninvited). Am particularly fond of the quarry location (Betchworth Chalkpits, also used for Doctor Who, The Terrornauts and the famous 'ITC Jag'). About five years ago I picked up the Five Star edition for £2 in an Oxfam bookshop (it had escaped their pulp old paperbacks rule) and, as Dem Bones can confirm, that was then around the going price for it. I'd suggest regularly checking Abebooks and Ebay for a realistically priced version. One will turn up at some point. If it doesn't and you're in the UK I can put my copy in the post to you, if you promise to return it after reading. It's not a bad read: it makes much more sense than the film

Thanks anyway! |

Thanks anyway! You could organise a film noir style meeting to pass on the "goods". Something like this (this is me meeting an unnamed Vault member called (insert your own name here) to pass on a copy of Confessions of a Night Nurse that I found in a wicked relatives hidden paperback stash, I'm the one in the suit):  |
