Default A Fine Weekend at Library Book Sales

I went to three sales in all, starting Friday morning. I came
away with two real finds;

Dick Francis, Nerve (Harper & Row 1964) book club edition,
near fine (bookplate of former owner) in a very good- jacket
(two small tears).


If I'd seen that come in to the charity bookshop I work in, it would have
gone straight into the box of stuff to sell for pulp. No way would I have
bothered to look up a value for it.

People really pay money for book club editions of Dick Francis?
