keithmroberts Posted 18 December , 2007 Share Posted 18 December , 2007 My paperback copy was either 20p or 30p at a car boot, and I have been amazed at the prices that this novel is fetching. One of my pals recently mentioned the book to me, not knowing that i had it, and after recommending it, told me that his wife had given his copy to a jumble for an animal charity without consulting him. He's not a happy chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Filsell Posted 7 January , 2008 Share Posted 7 January , 2008 For what its worth, I cannot understand why copies of this outstanding book are so hard to find, although I know that they are. The initial print run was small I understand. However apart from a paperback edition it was also published by the Book of the Month Club. Most BMC books are now of relatively limited interest, and thus of no interest to dealers when they are offred to them. But the book does it does turn up in charity shops. Although I understand that Oxfam shops now send their best books to specialist Oxfam book shops, Covenant With Death seems to slip through the net. I have had some great buys from charity shops - even to the point of feeling guilty and feeling it necessary to add a little to the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmroberts Posted 7 January , 2008 Share Posted 7 January , 2008 There's a hardback first edition in that auction site at the moment with an asking price of £79.95, and a search on some of the used book databases shows even more extreme prices. However this weekend I actually picked up a first for £18 so there are still some reasonable second hand bookstores around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarsA Posted 30 August , 2008 Share Posted 30 August , 2008 Thats a good one, my old pocket version is starting to fall apart. Time to get looking for a replacement. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddell Posted 30 October , 2008 Share Posted 30 October , 2008 Joan, Having read of this book on the forum I have been looking around for a copy for a while. I purchased a mint paperback copy (printed in 1994) for beer money on e-bay (Australian) a few nights ago. I thought it worth mentioning for the benefit of UK members as a place to look for it due to the high exchange rate you would enjoy. I paid $4.50 Australian for it. That's about 1.80 pound sterling. While looking for this book I also came across "Much sounding of Bugles" by John Harris which tells of the Seige of Chitral in 1895. There are several First World War links with this book. One individual mentioned who went on to greater (?) things in the Great War are Sir Ian Hamilton. Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddell Posted 31 October , 2008 Share Posted 31 October , 2008 There is a sizable variation in the prices asked for the paperback versions on the abebooks link. 61p to 25 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haslock Posted 2 November , 2008 Share Posted 2 November , 2008 Having just seen one at over £120, I wonder where the prices come from. Is it really that rare? I suspect not, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert70 Posted 3 November , 2008 Share Posted 3 November , 2008 It looks like 'Covenant with Death' is a popular title for a book! The one in question is edited by Innes & Castle; starting at around £20. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
