What Books Have You Bought Recently?

[MuckyFunster]

Is there a "What books have you bought recently?" thread? Got these three out of two of my local charity shops. £2 for the Mary Whitehouse HARDback (she'll be spinning in her grave for that wiseCRACK! God rest her soul), £1 for Serpico (which is actually 60p more expensive than its circa 1974 rrp printed on the back) , and 50p for Brighton Rock.

Nice! that is some awesome quality for the price you paid mate. I never thought to see if anyone had written a book about Whitehouse, I'm betting that will be a great read.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to giggling my hind end off at some old school swear words! I quickly read one long letter of complaint she wrote about someone flicking the "V" at the TV camera. It's gold!

Is that this series Dave?

I still have a few of them somewhere.

[Dave Boy]

Those are the ones Dem.

I have all the cards for red and the blue sets. I collected and swapped them at school.
There were yellow, orange and green series as well but I never remember them being sold in the UK.
