I can't believe how much this book seems to go for! I only paid about £1 for mine, as it was on sale at our local library years ago!! :lol:

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Slightly cheaper on amazon Rob - unless you want a new copy!

Both books do seem rather expensive. I think I paid about £8 or £9 for mine from E-Bay a few years ago. I suppose it depends on how desperately someone wants to own a copy. I probably had to wait a year or so before a 'cheap' copy came up.

I bought it for £38 on Ebay many years ago and put it in a box somewhere. I bought it again for £19 via Amazon UK four months ago this year because I had a sudden urge to reread the book and could not locate my copy! Both books have dust jackets in very good condition. I will definitely sell one later. I didn’t mind buying the second copy because I knew the book will sell like hot cakes. :D

I've just checked and my copy actually cost £2.50. It is however ex-library, with a stamp page of dates in the front, so would probably be on the cheaper side compared to others. :-D

Mine is also ex-library, a gift from my mum a few years back. I doubt she would have paid more than £10-12 for it.
