Well I'm not sure that it qualifies as a bargain

Just been into 'The Works', and grabbed a couple of nice little deals -

The Book of English Magic (Carr-Grom Heygate) plots the culture and history of all things Magic(k)al, from the earliest Authurian legends, through the novels of Tolkien, from the Druids to Queen Elisabeth's astrologer Dr. Dee. Learn how to: plot a ley line, dowse for water, cast an Anglo Saxon Rune, perform spells with candle magic etc..

An excellent guidebook for performers of a darker ilk, there's a full multitude of legends and historical depth to be plumbed here, for just £2.99

If this is your thing, you're looking for a thick (a whopping 562 pages!), A5 sized paperback - white cover, with red and black line drawings, and the title in black.



Secondly, we have a large, hardback, from DK books, entitled, 'Haunted'. With it's hologram on the cover, and large, card-like pages, this could easily be mistaken for a child's book; covering a mass of topics, including ouija, PK abilities, spirit writing and the like, though, we again have a tome with some hidden depth - £4.99 for a lovely book of idea-starters seems a very small price to pay.

Time to make a few things go bump in the night

The link in Jobasha's post above will take you direct to the Store Locator, David

From what I can see, your nearest branch is:


THE WORKS
Unit 2, 71/81 High Street

Thanks. Just ordered English Magic online. Even with postage it's a lot cheaper than Amazon.

Heading for our local The Works later today.......

Thanks Rob. Your a real friend.

I remember in years gone by when the Works used to be a LOT cheaper, but if you frequent one of their stores on a good day you can still pick up a bargain

Grab It Now are still selling dice sets cheap.

A pair of trick dice that roll only 7 or 11, plus a pair of matching regular dice, for 98p including free delivery. You can buy up to five sets per order.

I bought two sets of these last year and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I'm just about to place an order with Grab It Now, and have chucked another five sets onto the list. Even if I never use the 7-11 ones, it's worth it just to keep some spare dice around for tricks or game-playing. And they come in pretty cool tubes that might be useful for something too!

Warped Magic is currently having a sale with up to 75% off their merchandise.

Got a replacement £1/1p coin unique for just £14.99 along with a few other bits & pieces. Top service as usual.
