How rare is rare?

[delerith.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I'm in the process of trying to get my paws on the rest of the Marlow book (I've only read Autumn Term so far, and I'm desperate to read the rest!) I'm trying to locate them in a library near me, but am also thinking of buying them eventually.
I was just wondering (apart from the two Elizabethan books, which I know are hard to come by) which ones are the rarest and most difficult to find? I'm not looking for any version/edition in particular, anything will do! I'd like to know so that I can comapre prices and recognise a bargain when I see one, and I don't want to let a rarity slip through my fingers!
Can anyone help me with this? I need to suss out the market place!!
Thanks a million:)

The Merrick Ghost

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

Was re-reading Falconer's Lure and was struck by Patrick's description of the family ghost that walks outside his bedroom - can someone who's read the historicals tell me whether the ghost appears (so to speak) in those? Or is the ghost one of the characters from the historicals?

Any help appreciated!

Mod post

*dons mod hat, coughs nervously*

The mod hat is rather dusty, because you're all very civilised. It's great to see so many people taking part in the discussion here, including visitors to LiveJournal.

If you don't want to create a journal or use OpenID, but still want to post something, then you can send it to the mods (coughingbear and myself) and we can post it for you.

If you're commenting on an entry without a journal, or aren't logged in, could I ask that you sign your comments? It doesn't have to be your real name, obviously; it's just to know who's talking, espeically when there are several Anonymouses in one thread.

Muchos grattos! :)
