Dark Side of the Sun and Strata

[DaveC]

The best part of Dark Side of the Sun is this cover.



Actually I've only read it (and Strata) once and probably should read them again before making such comments.

Never seen that cover before. I have the Kirby paperback.

I found it by chance in a charity shop. I didn't know such a cover existed until I found it.

New English Library always had good covers on their fantasy books. That is the first paperback edition with the cover illustration by Tim White and is quite rare. That cover is only on the first paperback edition, the second edition was printed by Corgi and had the Josh Kirby cover

[pip]

sadly only have the Kirby one.

Sadly my copy is pretty tatty. But I was pleased to find it.

despite you only reading it once

Yes, as I said, it was second hand from a charity shop.

saw a few good books in my last visit to the nearby one but nothing i hadn't got. still always get a kick when i find any TP though.

Me too. I always smile, and if they are not in order I discretely shuffle them around. Or make them more prominent.

I did fix the order of the books in Chapters(second hand shop in dublin) about two weeks ago. It was satisfying but its odd because my own ones aren't actually in order on the shelf

[Tonyblack]

I've been known to 'rescue' Pratchett books from charity shops, even though I've already got them. And ex library copies too. But I then pass them on to people who have trouble getting them.

It seems to me that Pratchett books are a lot rarer in charity shops these days. Sometimes you'll see a whole bunch of them and you wonder how come someones collection ended up there. But they aren't like Dan Brown books - every single charity shop in the world has at least one copy of The Da Vinci Code for sale.*





*This may be a slight exaggeration.

I've seen authors have a shelf to themselves but i have seen on several occasions in charity shops one entire shelf of Da Vinci Code. Probably work out cheaper than bogroll.

There's one charity shop I go to and I noticed something odd about the books on display, but could readily work it out. I eventually realised that they'd been sorted by colour.

Sometimes they have a lot of time on their hands.
