hard cover comic book on shooting technique with the introduction by three time F1 world champion Jackie Stewart [...?!]

$2   >  to quote the former world champ "it is always refreshing to see a new approach being used to encourage & educate people, in the past, shooting books, i feel, were rather dreary, heavy reading - certainly not material to tickle the fancy of impulse buyer browsing in a bookshop !"
...
"i hope this book gives the pleasure, the knowledge & the education that it is intended to & that it produces many new artists!" signed Jackie Stewart

my best buy ever might be this Iannis Xenakis 5 lp box set i bought for $4 [!!!] in an op shop [!!!] in september 2007 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 $4 !!! Sorry about all the exclamation marks , but i couldnt believe my luck when i walked through the door & saw this box set sitting at the front of a stack of newly arrived records on the floor in one of my local op shops !!!!!  i bought some other interesting items on this day , but i leave them for another post .

recent op shop purchases

50 cents  a small snap shot mounted under glass with 'INHERITANCE 2003' written down the left hand side ... cant help but wonder what the story is behind this one ...
$2  for this small soft cover book with beautiful glossy colour photos of australian wildflowers by the wonderfully named Barry Allwright
