Hi, I'm back at last...

My American penpal has sent me three paperback Discworld books.....
The Fifth Elephant
Night Watch
Going Postal.

She found them in a thrift shop, (our charity shops here). She is a lovely lady. :laugh:
So I now have three more for my collection.

Is anyone else collecting American versions as well as the British copies?

Matt - you might want to try Amazon.Canada. They do the UK covers and the price is pretty good even with shipping. Just remember the price is in Canadian Dollars not US. :laugh:

Going back to Tiffany's first point. I'm not collecting the American covers, but I do have a few anyhow. :laugh: I've even found one or two in British charity shops and rescued them.

I've also got an Advance Readers Copy of Thud! from America. :laugh:

I haven't seen any American TP versions here, Tony, in charity shops. Lucky you. I always look as well.
The pound sterling is almost the same as the Dollar now.

It's $1.63 = £1 at the moment. Last year it was around $2 = £1 those were great days! ;)
