You just can't let it go, can you!?

I haven't placed a bid on Space Games as I have that already (although it's a bit tatty). I thought I had bid on Island of Secrets but must've missed it. It's now on my watch list!

I'll scan any of the games you like orion - there are some great wee games in these books.

I've noticed that someone else has already bid against me on most of them - I hate other people!! :p

OK, so now I can bid on Space Games with a clear conscience

I love the Usborne books. I've got what I thought was a decent selection of them, abound a dozen. They weren't all that common in Canada.

Colorful, well explained and fun. Looks like there are more out there!

I will post overseas if you want to bid. postage would need to be increased of course, but i am honest with the charges.

I did and you're right...

I just stuck in random bids before going to work this morning convinced that some of them would be lost to someone else. Obviously I must be too affluent (or maybe effluent!) because I came home at lunch-time and found that I'd won all the books I'd gone for!

It's cost me a fortune but £70 including postage for 11 books and a huge slice of my childhood isn't too bad. Besides, the money's going to a man who did me a great deal on a bunch of lovely joysticks a wee while back...

I really do hope you don't live to regret this bloke.

Did you end up getting Space Games, then? What other Usborne books do have? Are they all computer books or do you have some of the other ones as well?

I did! It's somewhere over the Atlantic right now. All are computer books except for a very cool one called Future Cities. I'll take pics of the collection after Space Games arrives.

Cool! I'd like to see the photos. I think I'm going to collect the other computer Usborne books - I only need a few I think.

Pic!

There's a mix of Usborne and Usborne/Hayes - Not sure what the distinction is.

I had an inkling that I had SpaceGames already - and sure enough, I did - with a slightly different cover.
