Wanted: TARGET Books!
We're making an attempt to fill the gaps in our Target Books collection (and there's quite a few gaps!). If anyone has any duplicates they don't want, please let us know!

I'm pretty sure I put all my duplicates on eBay a few years back, Si, but I will go and check later. If there's any there then you're very welcome.
I have to admit though that I did smile at your list - I would call those 'yawning chasms' rather than 'gaps' in your collection!!!

A few months back we had most of those. We had at least three dups of Marco Polo.
Now the charity shop has them I'm afraid. If only we'd known.

I know what you mean Andrew, though actually I was quite pleasantly surprised to find how many we'd got. I used to have them all bar about 4 books - but I sold them as a job lot many years ago. As a wise man once said, "never sell all your old Doctor Who tat... you'll only end up buying it all back". And so it was that, recently, when we brought back some of Simon's stuff we found we had quite a few Targets, and this coincided with an interest in re-reading them so we decided to try and get a few we wanted to re-read... and see just how many we were missing. The list is 70 books long, which if nothing else is a fairly good start - we must be missing about half. It's going to be quite fun collecting them all again, as it was finding four or five unexpectedly in a charity shop yesterday.

I'll have a check Si when I'm next in town. There was a display of them in the wondow a few weeks back, but I don't think I've seen them since. If I do I'll let you know.

That's a total of 73 books (Evil of the Daleks should have been deleted, sorry), postage will probably be between £15 and £20, how does £75 sound to you? That's just over £1 per book including P&P!

BTW, you are going to be disappointed if you hold out for Target novelisations of Resurrection and Revelation of the Daleks, they don't exist! ;-)

That sounds great to us, thank you very much!
Please let us know which is the best way of paying you - paypal, bank transfer, cheque etc.
Many thanks again, we'll enjoy reading those and it should keep us going a while!
Si.
PS We know there are no novels of the Saward stories, perhaps he should finally get on and write them before he dies!!

By the way, you listed 63 books in your post above (including "Evil"), not that this matters as we're still fine with the price, but out of interest are there some that you missed off your posted list or did you just miscount!
Si.

16th May 2009, 6:35 PM #25
Sorry, just a miscount! Paypal would be the best method for me - my email is gallifrey71@hotmail.com. I will package the books up and get them sent to you early next week. Cheers.
