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

[Marco]

Hey guys, bit nervous seeing as it is my first topic on this forum. The title says it all: 'Where do you buy your DW books and at what price?'

I tend to buy them in Books etc. always in airport and good for reading on travels.

They sell for RRP I believe, seven quid or so.

Please lock the thread if this has been created before Tony.

No problem Marco - I don't think we've discussed this before. I tend to get my new books as hardback first editions from Tesco for around 10 quid. These days I tend to get two copies so I can take one to Sharlene in Tucson.

I often haunt charity shops as well and get used copies for every day reading.

If I read a first edition I take the dust cover off and replace it with an old plastic cover from a book I got at a library sale - to protect the book.

Iget mine (hardcovers when they are released) at Play.com - takes a bit longer to get to Holland, but the price difference is pretty huge. Used to get paperbacks on trips to London for RRP (although there was often a 3 for 2 sale going on). Keeping an eye out for hardcovers to replace my worn-out paperbacks, without much luck. Not in a big hurry with that though.

I found some in the attic most are from waterstones or amazon. But i got my second copy of monsterous regiment for 10p from a library sale (it was a hardback as well. large print version)

The first pbs I bought from Waterstones & Smiths, ditto the new hb's & a few from Tesco. I have found a lot more h & pbs from car boot sales & some from charity shops.

I own only one DW book and it's a new paperback.I bought it at a bookstore(which I think is called Exclusive Books?not quite sure though.) for R115 and the other DW books are R125.Does anyone know what the price converts to in the UK?

[poohcarrot]

Just over 11 pounds.

Here's the site I use for currency conversions;

Thanks poohcarrot.I have one other question how much is a Quid?

[ShadowNinjaCat]

Wait...I looked it up and it said that Quid and Pound are the same thing so......I'M PAYING A LOT FOR A PAPERBACK! arn't I

[Tiffany]

New paperbacks are aprox £7.99 here, so yes, they are dearer than ours but not by that much.

[ShadowNinjaCat]

I don't know if I should buy preread paperback's and then when I have them all,invest in hardbacks to replace them.

[Marco]

I'll be making a thread with the cheapest prices possible for paperbacks if you are interested

Thats nice Marco but I don't know if it would be cheaper for me 'cause It would have to be sent all the way to SA first.
