    So how much would you spend on a book?

    Its OK, its a motorbike bike, well actually the first edition Motocourse. Pretty rare these days, but what would you pay to have one?
    And has the latest Motocourse come out yet? With Valentino on the Yamaha on the cover? Hmmmm........

    Just get them. Stalingrad is brilliant, also check out "The Forgotten Soldier", about a german soldier on the russian front. Berlin is good too, but I really enjoyed Stalingrad.

    I'm serious...

    Won't give exact figures, but I spent in excess of 20 grand on one book last year. If it's something you love, why not...

    *EDIT* Oh yeah.... it came with a free Motorbike

    Ummm, get it, you may never see it again oir forget about it
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Awesome book, and not that expensive.

    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Some of text books are rediculous prices but, then again I think a lot of books are well over priced these days. A rare book may be worth purchasing though...who is selling it and how much for?
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
