While I was out shopping this morning I decided to pop into the local bookshop to kill a bit of time.

I came out with:

'1861' Bradshaw's Handbook, hardback £20.00 reduced to £10.00, (1st edition 2014, obviously using original material)
Britain from the Rails, A Window Gazer's Guide, soft back £15.99 reduced to £4.00,
Dangerous Days on the Victorian Railways, soft back £8.99 reduced to £300.

All brand new with a total saving of £27.98.

I don't think that I could have justified spending £300.00 on book even to myself. If I had that kind of spare cash at the moment l am sure it would be the model shop not the book shop it would be spent in. :D
