For people in the UK it's better to use their UK site: http://www.abebooks.co.uk because it lists stock held by UK booksellers first. |

My apologies, wrong reaction; I should in fact be thanking you
because otherwise it might have been even longer before I noticed my missing books (which has expanded to include my copy of Good Omens). Erstwhile flatmate has been emailed. Whether I ever get them back is another issue, but the copy of Good Omens has sentimental value. Grrrrr...... Last edited by Mindy; 06-10-2008 at 04:27 AM. |

Hi Derek,
I see the two books you are looking for are indeed listed on the website provided by Ralph Sir Edward. Stephen Coonts The Conquest for the princely sum of $1 plus p&p. The other title Lee Child's The Visitor for the grand sum of $40 plus. No so good!!! If you are really interested in acquiring a paperback copy of The Visitor there is a copy available on an Irish website here www.eason.ie it will cost you about $17 plus p&p. Here's hoping you are successful in getting both copies of the books. Slan Mag. |

What's the problem with Lee Child's "The Visitor"? It's shown as "in print" on the Amazon UK web site, with a normal (for the UK) list price of £5.99, but dozens of 2nd hand copies starting at as little as 32p!

Invariably the UK; it was 'inherited', suitably well-thumbed and I loved it with all my little heart. Cover was:

Yes, I could buy a d-t version, cut away the spine and run it through the old scanner - oh wait! I *HAVE* no scanner! Yep, as far as scanners go, I am a luddite, dragging my knuckles around the floor of my cave. And $40 is reeee-DICK-you-louse... Derek |
