<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blooey, post: 2073285, member: 12007&quot;]I did my very first deal in Hay-on-Wye! </p><p>When I was 16, I hitchhiked with a pal up to Hay-on-Wye to sell a 17thc book we found in an abandoned chapel. I suppose because we were kids, Booth&#039;s manager called up Mr Booth and he sent a car down for us bringing us up to the castle(?) [big house anyway!] for tea and sandwiches. </p><p>He gave us a great education that day, explaining that even though the book we had was from the 1600&#039;s, it had very little commercial value because the <i>subject matter </i>had no appeal - as I remember it was an account of the trial of King Charles/James the whatever.</p><p>He bought the book from us anyway and we hitchhiked back home to Merthyr a little bit richer and a lot wiser.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
