There are Still Bargains to be Had

Post by Moonraker »

Whilst I was sleeping off a night shift, Jane came across a second-hand book stall and found Mystery of the Secret Room and Claudine at St. Clare's; both Methuen originals (not First's though), complete with dust jacket. The price? 50 pence each. Needless to say, she snapped them up!

What a good find. Jane was obviously in the right place at the right time. :D
