On more than one occasion, I've looked for books I've wanted - out of print but quite commonly available. So the list comes up - and there's the usual "sightly foxed, £5" types, and the snootier ones who obviously want the kind of profit margins that restaurants make on wine, but then a couple of sellers (usually in America) who want some utterly ridiculous sum - £175 was one figure I saw for a book widely available in any Oxfam shop for £2.99. They aren't going to sell at that price - so why bother listing?

Take yerself off to Hay-On-Wye that's what I say. Not only is it a lovely spot to visit, there are veritable book bargains to be had. Gill and I were there last weekend. A remainder shop with everything at £1 (including, would you believe, Celebrity Su-Doku!) and reference and technical books in pristine condition at around a third of retail price. I picked up an as-new book I'd had my eye on for ages ("I am a Strange Loop" by Douglas Hofstadter) for £1 less than Amazon and no delivery charge of course. In fact, had Gill not discovered the jewellers shop it would have been a cheap visit! Leslie

Rob's right. It's hard to believe those high-priced copies are going to shift. But then all they need is one person to want something that badly. And that could apply even after the new reissues are out, I suppose. But still, I'm sure those sellers are hoping the Demon news has not filtered out too widely. But then again, you'd think that anyone who's enough of a fan to even think of paying that kind of money would be enough of a fan at least to have visited the website. Beats me.

Er, I guess most of you have seen my earlier post, but I've still got 2 new, sealed PA CDs (SFM) for sale. These aren't advertised anywhere else, and the price is sensible.
