    Red face Okay, I admit I cheated!

    I exaggerated a tad. There are really only four guides on the shelf (three x 2010 and one x 2009). The rest are the result of some copying and pasting ;). The bit about the postman is true though!

    Cool Tsk tsk..

    So I'm not doing so badly then...

    I have 2008, 2009 and 2010 -one copy each -no need for more than one per year.

    Yes, mine arrived this morning.
    If I get 2 a year, I donate one to the local library, who always take books in good condition.

    Received my very first copy this morning and although only had time for a quick scan was very impressed.Looked at 2 reviews on ships we are booked on and love even the bits that refer to where our sayings originate. Referring to Jo's comment about the library, my husband is an avid reader of Science fiction or fantasy and in the 19 years we have lived in Wales has long since exhausted thier stock.He orders a lot online and when he has had a trilogy,taken them to the library.He came home spitting feathers last week after being told, no more books of any kind are being accepted because they are having a job to keep track of them.In this day and age with computers, what is the problem?ALL our books will go to the charity shop now,at least they are grateful for them. :mad:

    Hi Carole

    I'm also a big fan of fantasy - the thicker the book and the more in the series the better (although I got bored with The Wheel of Time at book eleven!). I don't know if you can make out the book on the far right of my photo? It's one of the Otherland series by Tad Williams - my favourite of all time!

    OH agrees with you about Wheel ot Time, dragged on too long and no conclusion.If you go onto Amazon used book site , books are available from America that were never published over here. He has bought many books for 1p + postage. Always buys a trilogy for a weeks cruise while i make use of the entertainment.
