Yeah, it saved me around 15 euro on that buy which is nice. There is a collection point in Limerick city so not much out of the way for me either. Handy enough.

Yup, are you going to go for it yourself? It was hardcover and I only have the paperback... that's what I'm telling myself anyway :)
Well I only have Way of Kings . I'm under a book buying embargo til next month for my birthday except for exceptional circumstances
Sigh Goldsboro Books 15% discount for the weekend no money or need it for other pressing matters...
Yeah got that email as well. Sadly I'm banned from buying books
Lol it comes at a time neither of us can take advantage of it.
I know. I've a couple of preorders with them but the discounts never count for preorders
For those interested (and I know a lot here are looking forward to the book Goldsborobooks.com will have the only signed UK first editions of The Girl in the Spider Web, the follow on to Stieg Larrsons Millenium Trilogy. Not my thing but for 20 sterling its a great collectors item. I know Gavin id already wondering how much food he will have to skip to get it . ;-)
July for Go Set a Watchman and august for the next in the Millennium series, it'll be a good end to the summer. Not a fan of it, Paul?
Honestly havent tried it. I will at some point but I avoided it during the hype .
Wonder if there will be signed Harper Lees available ;-)
Ah jaysus haha may be worth chancing your hand and putting one on ebay :)
Ahhh yeah :). When you call for dinner next time I'll make sure you feel safe and lay out blunt knives on the table :)
paul not my cup of tea either/ i am hoping for The Fate of Ten in September i shall not be buying any books till middle/late August.
A few interesting ones coming out.I have preordered Legends II , an anthology released to keep funding the Gemmell fantasy awards held in David Gemmells honour. Some decent writers involved and 25 quid for the hardback signed by all contributors is very good.
I think spacewitch is the only one selling them.
Probably not of massive interest to many here but a nice one to get at the price

I've also preordered the final part of Anthony Ryans Blood Song trilogy and will now have a matching signed number set of all three parts . Goldsboro books is amazing for those who have a few quid and a love of collectable fantasy or crime books.
I have inadvertently started collecting some of the Macmillan War Pamphlets. I bought The Mysterious English just because I thought it was an essay by DL Sayers but it turns out they were propaganda pieces written and published during WWII. Paul then got me another one from the series, Nordic Twilight by EM Forster. A nice set to complete possibly.
What an interesting series, Trelawn, not one I've come across. I will read some of them! Isn't it fun when a something doesn't turn out the way you expect, like your purchase, and it leads you into something new?
Propaganda is always a fascinating subject. Its really interesting to see some by some of the great British writers.
Yes, you're right. I've read too much from the C19th but none from WWII. Twelve of the Macmillan series is in the library that the engineer gave me a year's subscription to last Christmas :)
That's fortunate Theresa. There are an interesting insight into how the British viewed themselves during the war, particularly in contrast to how they viewed Nazi Germany.
In other collectable news I've seen a few collectors sites showing Go Set a Watchman. None offering signed versions but interesting to see if any surface

Terry Pratchetts final book hac its cover unveiling yesterday and its coming out in August. Waterstones are doing a beautiful limited slipcased edition of the book. Its a tad pricey but as its his last I've taken the plunge and preordered.

Ha I've been waiting for this since 2013 when it was first officially announced :D One is coming every October Naturally I will be getting it
£30 per book is high but If they are decent enough editions it will be worth it.
Not to high for me the amount of illustrations in them and at least it is once a year :)
If the quality inside is as good as the cover it looks well worth it all right
One for Kevin , Waterstones are doing both of the Legion books by Brandon Sanderson as signed special editions for £8.99 each Legion is a re-release but Skin Deep is new.Absolute basgain for two hardbacks and postage free to a UK address so Parcel Motel it.Might have to wait for payday next week and pray they last-https://www.waterstones.com/campaign/...
I'm on a "strict" BBB since I'm moving to Sweden in August. Save save save.
ERASMUS programme, Emma. Originally I was assigned to a course on Shakespeare but since it is a self study course the course director recommended I do the one on how to make documentaries. Should be a great few months.

That will be a great experience. Shall I withold further must buy books info from you.
I may or may not have acquired some books from a certain favourite author's website. Just to try and complete the collection is all. :)
I might have to myself very soon. The Mistborn trilogy is calling

once i'm back from the states i will probably order it, thanks for telling me it is up :)
Reorganising the bookshelves today and we've built quite the collection and more to come so a little creative shelving required. A few donations might also be required.On a side not I might be persuaded to part with a slipcased signed edition of The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore to someone who will appreciate it(ie Gavin) all I ask is it gets a good home.
Also if anyone is interested I've a signed special launch paper carrier bag for Transatlantic signed by McCann if anyone is a fan and would appreciate it.
Reorganising shelves can be fun but also deadly. Paul I would indeed be grateful for The Power of Six only if you truely want to get rid of it. And of course it would go to aa good home. If any other donations incl. Double Sir Terry's or any Michael Scott i would thankfuly take them. Or any reads you may have thay i may like. However, As I am going to Florida on the 28th I wouldn't be able to pay for shipping till middle of August and wouldn't want you out of pocket so if your willing to hold onto till then I can top up my Parcel Motel account which doesn't quite have the funds ans of course reemburse your costs.
