When working in London I used to spend some lunch-times looking around the discount book shops hoping to pick up a bargain. This book resembles one of those speciality annuals brought out at Xmas but with glossy cover with Bond actors ( which is the same as hard cover if lost - most are plain ) I got this bargain for half price ( original price £9.95 ). Despite its age and covering from DN to LTK never has a book been used so much for reference purposes.

"It was just lying with a pile of books and we go through them all to check for anything special," said volunteer John Fyfe, who spotted that it may be worth than the shop's normal top price of £30.
