Oxfam is a UK "charity shop". They sell second hand goods that people donate. The money they raise goes to fighting poverty. Oxfam is short for the organization's original name: "the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief".

So what happened was, someone bought the book you have new, then when they were done with it donated it to Oxfam, then Oxfam stuck a 99p sticker on the book and sold it for that lower price.

My mum was always sure she got the best bargains at Oxfam. Neil Gaiman even once wrote a story called "Chivalry" where a little old lady finds the Holy Grail at Oxfam. It has an Oxfam sticker on it that says 30p.

That's interesting .So I guess finding the other books in the series will be tough there .
Where is this story by Neil Caiman published ?

Oxfam isn't a bookshop, it's a charity shop, so unless they have copies handed in it's not likely you'll be able to collect the others from there.

I would try and win these on ebay then you'll only need to find another two:

two

Alternatively they're on ebay or AbeBooks, though I'd message the seller to check it's the right edition and not a stock image.
