The Complete History of the Return of the Living Dead. Loved the first two films as a kid. Lot´s of pictures, concept art and behind the scenes stories from the actors and crew members.

I now have a copy of Napoleon's Army by Lucien Rousselot that arrived yesterday. Easily the most beautiful book that I now own.

A Tidy Little War: The British Invasion of Egypt 1882, William Wright

Only skimmed through it thus far, but looks like a very good read. Lots of nice pictures, too.

Methinks I have an eye for a bargain.

Indeed. For £1,200 I could go there and see it myself

I think this may turn out to be a good buy.

"Istanbul: City of Seven Hills" 1994. It is a big (big) photographic tour of the city, with text by the wonderfully named Cyril Mango. I have checked this out on the web and the cheapest copy for sale is just under £400. One seller wants £1,200!

Wow, you jammy bugger! Cyril is the brother of the better known Andrew Mango, who wrote probably the best Anglish language biography of Kemal Ataturk. Alas the paperback version isn't likely to command 1200 quid or I would have stripped the shelves of the local bookstore.
