im with u darkwood quantum phisics, particle phisics. paul dirac's autobiography is a good one too and some clarkson obv lol
 
i bet the 1st edition must be worth a bit now,i did see people on ebay flogging the 16th edition?,i got a new gn3 and binned my old gn3 so maybe i could of sold it.
 
The oldest I've ever seen was a copy of the 4th edition....it was red, about the size of a scientific calculator and 10-12 pages.
 
Im a nerd, so quantum physics all the way for me, if you claim to understand it then your lying as quoted by the theories founder and this is so true in places.

Right with you there, quantum and nuclear physics all the way for me.
 
Just rung the old man, he's got 14th imperial, 15th and 16th.

I've only got 16th (and 17th, obviously). Wouldn't mind getting a few of the old ones though, shall have to keep an eye out.
 
and i thought it was just me :D chasing the oldies. bet the bins have seen there fair share of them over the years
 
I found a good old scaddan book at a car boot the other day, 25p.. BARGAIN!!!

I've often wondered if anyone was like me and held onto their old books over the years? I've created my own little library of stuff that is pretty useless these days. But I cant part with them.
 
i am the same i have loads of electrical refference books on the shelf that are years old. i swore i would bang them on ebay when i finished the courses but they are still there :D
 
Book reading not my strong point but I HAD to get Alex greys "the river man" as its based around a guy Iv met from the humane society he rows the river clyde in glasgow pulling people and badies from it ( although HnS concerns have stoped him being first call of Strathclyde police) Her books are very well researched and gritty crime enthralling reads The Rev IamJolly autobiography of Ricky Fulton was fab as well
