Oooh... look what I picked up in a 2nd hand store today, for the ridiculous sum of eight and a half of your Earth pounds...

There was almost a sonic boom as I grabbed it from the shelf! smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Anyone else had a "Ha! You're coming home with ME!" experience with a classic UMSF-related book in a 2nd hand store?

Not MER related - but an orig book written by the skipper of the Endurance on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. A unique perspective on the adventure all the way to South Georgia via Hell and back. Found it in the basement of an old bookshop near Leicester Square while waiting to meet Chris Lintott and Jane Houston Jones.
