Rogers Profanisaurus Hardback Book


Rogers Profanisaurus is the ultimate in schoolboy humour, a book for anyone who truly loves Viz humour! Roger Mellie presents a new edition of his classic dictionary of swearing that gives a hilarious new angle to many previously innocently used words. Fully updated for the new millennium with definitions culled from the intellects of Vizs finest readers, this is positively the last word in contemporary profanity.

Not bad for 50p :)

Beano & Dandy A Spin Around The Sixties Book


This book is a compilation of Beano & Dandy reprints from the 1960s.

Dandy & Beano are a strange car boot phenomena, sellers believe they are worth about £3 each, no matter what year they are from, its probably the fault of on of those car boot TV shows, its not hard to work out they generally remain unsold! Normal annuals I don't bother with, but I fancied reading this!

Not bad for 50p :)
