Well today we went up the local golden mile of charity shops (its in Sheffield on the edge of the wealthiest ward in the UK outside London, full of intelligentsia types - its not all like the Full Monty here

- so good trawls are always to be found) and I saw a fair few interesting things. A couple of second editions (4th and 8th impressions) of LotR for £28 and £30 (bit expensive really). I'd like to know if I'm right to think they're expensive! Old hardback single volumes for around a fiver. A pristine unread Unfinished Tales for £3. I actually came away though with a 1st edition Iris Murdoch for £1.50 and a copy of The Handmaid's Tale.
