Don't worry too much sunshineyday cos I made the gross mistake of going into a charity shop with a friend today and came out with a mint condition Rick Stein cookbook for £1, and a self-help book for 50p. Naughty, but how could I pass up a cookbook at that price?

Well done Pickle, think you bagged yourself a great bargain on the cookery book!

I know! (Or should that be I ' know' ?)

But hang on, didn't we say that cookery books were reference books and as such didn't count? Oh yes we did!

In that case, I'm only guilty of the 50p self-help book.

ooohh - what an amazing thread!!! And how apt too!!

I have SOOOO many books and keep on buying from Amzon because I 'must' read that book. To be fair, I have read the last 7 books I bought, but another 3 arrived today on the day that my finances really have gone **** up big time

So if you don't mind - I'll be following this thread!

Pickle, it would have been rude not to buy it!;)

Nearly succumbed myself yesterday, I was at the library and they were having a book sale. Nearly went for a look, then I remembered I had the princely sum of 24p in my purse and I was damned if I was going to the ATM - so I was rather chuffed with my willpower. Got a nice pile of books to read while I'm on holiday this week.
