Bought at 'Works' bookshop, I don't know what the original price for the set was, but at £2.50 it was worth taking a chance.

The 125 page mini book not a bad little book.

The DVD (44 minutes) is about 2 sets of working boats each with a motor and butty. The DVD is very bitty, no continuity and the changes in scenes are to say the least amateurish. For £2.50 I can't really complain, but I am glad that I didn't pay the full price, whatever it was.

I was looking at that in the local store. It was priced £11.99. I was planning to get it next week, now I am not so sure.
