Mary,

I think the recommended price is £24.99 but amazon are seling them cheaper.
There appear to be three books on each player, all by the same author.  Not
a bad idea, but I would prefer one unabridged book rather than three
abridged titles.

Hi David,
Sorry I missed your message about this one.  Just came across  it earlier
whilst browsing the audio book shop..
Maybe this one being more expensive means they were not abridged.  I will
try to find out more about them.

Regards

Mary
