Oops, I just remembered that I lied, I did buy the Necronomicon in Waterstones because I wanted to own that particular edition, but usually the cover is not so important.
I just got a book from the library which the librarian told me was worth £300. Curious, when I looked it up on Amazon it costs £18 so it must be more available than it used to be. She seemed dubious about letting me take it away (it's an obscure anthropological book from 1972, hardly in demand), I assured her I wouldn't eat and orange whilst reading it or read it in the bath.
The prices things sell for and the value of them are not always the same are they? Would you consider having a kindle? Mr Bethnoir is quite keen on the practicality of them, but I do like the physical presence of a paper book.
