The Best of James Herriot

This is a very nice oversized, illustrated edition, although the dust jacket is beat up. Lots of drawings and color photos of Yorkshire, too! $5 plus post. Plus one copy of the deluxe hardcover edition with illustrated cover, used, former owner's name inside (but nice). Also $5 plus post. Your choice.
