Just checked now and it's gone down to twenty five.

If I leave it for another couple of years it might become affordable.

I've actually just found it for £7.54 so I've bought a copy.

If it's shit........

While we're on books, have you read any Mick Herron?

Like Le Carre but without the boring endings that leave you scratching your head and feeling flat.

If you like that kind of thing a book called the Shadowplayers is well worth a read, it's a very in-depth account of factory records from start to bitter end

Had the pleasure of pouring a stale pint over him when they bought Moss Side West Indian Community Centre to open the Factory (PSV) I knew it was the end of our gut-wrenching bass, lady mud wrestler and rum and dominoes nights so I guess it was a protest spillage especially after what happened to Renos and the Nile. As it turned out, I kept going and had some cracking nights but never spoke to Wilson again, even though I saw him regularly. 

As regards books, I had to give away over 1000 to the charity shop this week as there is nowhere to put them in our new downsized house. Gutting but pragmatic.
