Nicholsons Guide to the Broads & Fens

Sadly this is one waterway guide that was never reprinted and updated after 1986.  I like Nicholson Guides, and wanted the River Ouse and Nene plus the Middle Level Guide one. 

So I looked on Fetchbook, and hey presto found one!

Not new of course, but a second hand one described as “Not even opened”. 

The great thing about Fetchbook is that you can compare prices from loads of different outlets all over the world.  I would very much doubt that a book could be found anywhere else at a cheaper price.  Once you have found your book, go to the bottom and fill in the bit about country of delivery then refresh.  It then compares all the prices including postage.

In the case of the book I bought, there were just two available, one was from Amazon here in the UK, and the other from an internet store in USA.  It worked out cheaper to buy the book from the USA!

Anyway the book arrived after about 5 days, and true to it’s description it is brand new, and definitely not been flicked through at all!

OK so it is dated 1986, but I have another plan…. I have found updates for it here.
