I forgot to mention how proud and embarrassed in equal measure I was of Mrs troggi in the shop when she shouted from the till "do you want "The Camel's Toe" then?" The poor young man at the till went scarlet!

Well that's my shameless plugging done for the day. Though remember he also has a fine series of Fantasy novels for Kindle (and other popular e-readers.) Including Swords for a dead lady...

I would check again and hopefully you'll find the book you're looking for.

A while back yours truly also snapped up a copy of the tome James Bond:50 Years Of Movie Posters from the same branch for just under £20. I picked up a copy of Saucy Postcards too.

There was also a big book on Bruce Lee available but i can't recall the name of it.

I did see this but it was sealed. Is it actually a book or fold out posters. It seemed to be a box rather than a book?

The item in question is indeed a book packaged in a hefty cardboard slipcase. Hence, the tome's box-like appearance and the aforementioned Bruce Lee book was packaged the same way.

The Gateshead branch of The Works also had the revised and updated volume of The Sweeney Companion for roughly £2 or thereabouts if i'm not mistaken. Also available in the above outlet are large packets of James Bond lobby card reprints for £4.99 each and i've been tempted more than once to pick some of these up.
