BARGAIN BASEMENT POLITICS

I was amused to find last Monday on the shelves of the Oxfam charity bookshop in Totnes a copy of The Blair Years by Alistair Campbell.

Amazon have reduced this book, which was published in the UK on 9 July, from £25 to £14.25.

But it was available in Oxfam for £5.99!

Is this a record for a rapid reduction in book price, and is this the equivalent of a movie going straight to DVD?
