walkingthedog Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Not sure why you are bothered about it Jacob. You made it quite clear you weren't willing to pay much for a book, so why should those that are willing to pay take pictures to show you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterCity80s Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Play on words InterCity. I said "I" paid a tenner, my daughter gave me a £15 book token for Christmas. 😆 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I pulled myself together and pulled out the credit card, they'd sold out. Can't get it even secondhand now for much under £150. Whether Pat Hammond would consider the publishers issuing a new print. I've got vols 1 and 2, they're fabulous and worth every penny.Speaking as a sometime sparky, I find it annoying that the Wiring Regulations book which we all have to have uptodate copies of, costs £60 plus each time. Its black and white text not glorious colour prints and half the pages of a typical Marshall Cavendish collectors volume. And is worth almost nothing when the next edition is printed. It's not like it's a limited run print either. Even if some sparkies don't bother....... 😇 I'd guess that at least 200,000 of the 250,000 plus do each time.

LCDR Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 High cost seems to be the norm for essential textbooks and reference books sold for use by professionals, as if it is OK to charge businesses extortionate amounts because they can pass it on to the customers.
