Title: Looking For Used Books
Post by: MDS69 on April 10, 2014, 08:49:28 PM: Hi Folks,
I am looking for used copies of the following paperbacks if anyone has them that they would consider selling. I use to have them years ago but sold them to the second hand book seller.

I bought a copy of Chickenhawk from a second hand book shop just after Christmas and paid $5.00 for it but it looks like a dog has chewed it. I ended up throwing it out.

Unfortuneatly lent it to one of the wife's friends to try to inspire her "troubled" son to stay at school and follow his dream to become a helicopter pilot. Now both mum and son are just as troubled as each other. Book long gone. :-[

Have my original copy, sorry but can't part with that one - might have to get it out for another read.

Good luck with the links above,
Cheers

Available on Kindle for $9.70, though…
Cheers,
PS…Mr Mason has a sequel out… Chickenhawk : Back in the world - Life after Vietnam…should be worth reading
