I hear ya. I have the first one. I was going to order the second one, but that book on Vivian Stanshall finally came out so I ordered that instead. And I want that Stephen Fry book about the bears, too.
I have the first three in UK paperback editions cos they were really cheap when I was last in London and I couldn't possibly pass them up. Ditto my copies of the two other books (the Guide to Monsters and the Quidditch Rules one) which had just come out.
I have a mess of books and cds to order from Amazon.co.uk but I'm waiting until my mom is ready to order more of her historical mysteries to save on shipping. I'm just lucky I don't have a multi-region dvd player. *twitch twitch* There are so many UK shows I want that will never be released here. *sigh*
I'm doing hardbacks because I know I'll only end up replacing paperbacks later and just want it over with. :p
Don't even get me started on UK DVDs with their stupid old and new Randall and Hopkirk and old Tomorrow People and Ace of Wands and AAAAAAAAGH!!! Bastards.
I couldn't do the hardbacks because they weighed too much and between Mom and I, we'd already bought like 75 books already to bring back.
Yes, yes, Randall & Hopkirk (which I haven't seen since I was a kid) and Tomorrow People and for me especially Rock Follies and Rock Follies of 77. *sob* Stupid tv format stuff.
I envy your R&H stuff -- I haven't seen it since the 70s when it was running here in syndication as My Partner The Ghost. I remember loving it but this was in the days before VCRs, of course. I just get all twitchy when I look at the Amazon.co.uk DVD section (which I should know better than to do)...*sigh* I should really figure out how to change the region settings on my DVD-Rom drive.
