As a post script to the post on Time Life books.I was in the local Oxfam shop in Lanark, browsing the shelves looking for Western related material, of which there is always invariably none!
Anyway, as I was standing there, a couple came in with bags obviously for donations. I didn't pay them much attention until I saw one of the store assistants starting to sort through the contents.
In one of the bags was a pile of Western Time Life books! I went straight across and sure enough, thirteen books of the series in pristine condition. The assistant was pricing them at £2 each. I said I would take the lot if she did me a deal, which she did. We shook hands on £20!
I was going through them at the weekend and there is enough material for a dozen BHW's
And of course, now I'm hooked. I've got to get the whole 27!
Nice find, Ed. I've yet to meet one of that series I didn't like.

ReplyDeleteYes - being Scottish, I do enjoy a bargain!
The books are superb. Great just to browse through them. The photographs give a real feel for clothes, hairstyles, buildings, transport etc - all the stuff that gives you a real flavour of the place.
