Where do you buy your DW books and at what price?

[deric]

Hi, I've just ordered my first ever Terry book, Guards! Guards!, from Amazon for my Kindle. I paid £3.65. I like, and have bought, hardbacks and paperbacks but I am running out of room for all my books. I still succumb when I see a new hardback at a good price, the last one I bought for £10 was Fall of Giants by Ken Follett RRP £20.

I think you'll enjoy it, deric! It's the first of the City Watch books and a great place to start with a six-foot dwarf as your guide.

I only buy paperbacks and usually Smiths or Waterstones or Dillons have some "special offer", 3 for 2 or second book half price or some such so the average is probably about a fiver.

I buy my Discworld books in a bookshop in a town not to far from where I live called Killarney.I buy them for 9euro which would be around £7.50

Waterstones is about the same 7.99ish. Charity shops sell them for approx 1.50!

I bought Hogfather in this stall called ''The Book Shack'' in Blackpool. it has a sticker on the inside saying ''Please remember to swap your old books for new books at half price''

I bought my first TP book today. It was Hogfather as I thought as its that time of year I need a book to get me in the mood and thought of this one. I bought it in Waterstones i do think they sell their books at an expesnive price £7.99 for a small paperback I think is ridiculous I would pay that for a hardback! But I have a Kindle for christmas so have downloaded the entire discworld series to put on it when I get it. I have never read any other TP books before so this is my first, I am about 60 pages in and I love it can't believe I have missed them all these years!

Excellent choice I do like the Hogfather and the film is my favorite as well.
And welcome to the forum Ben.

Chapters, in Dublin. I get a lot of them second-hand there, and they give you vouchers if you spend a certain amount, and you can sell books to them They also have nifty gifts. I love that shop.

Welcome to the forum,BenBubb.You have a lot of fun reading in front of you.

Hellooo and welcome Ben. Hogfather is an excellent book but if you have any questions about it or the others (being new to Discworld), feel free to ask and we will try to answer as best we can without giving away too many spoilers.

Welcome Ben!

I agree £7.99 is a bit steep, especially as you can usually pick up a brand new first edition hardback (when they are first released) for as little as £9.95.

You might want to look online for cheaper paperbacks.

Yeah they are alot cheaper online but i wanted it that day so i couldnt wait. I had finished the last book of the hunger games triliogy the night before so couldnt go a few days without reading i would go mad. So i just popped into the nearest waterstones and got it.

Chapters is in my top five favourite places. Its fanatastic. Best History section in the city and best second shop in the country
