What has been everyone's most amazing finds of Christie ephemera?

My most recent one was on Boxing Day.  I found a copy of "Floating Admiral" at a thrift store/charity shop for 25 cents. 

Yes, those hidden treasures are out there.

I found a copy of Christie's play Akhnaton at a used and rare bookstore (it was around 30 dollars, but it was worth it!)

Also, check my post called Miss Perry?  The manuscripts were REALLY expensive, but also really rare.

Another major find for me was "The Adventure of The Christmas Pudding." That was found in a charity shop for 69cents.  It was a bit of a big find since it is a UK only tittle.

I love discussing bargains! I buy most of my books second hand, (charity shops) but I bought a nearly new latest edition copy of Evil Under The Sun for 30p. That is very cheap. Ive not come across anything very rare though. But I have an offical AC bookmark which is old, which I think was from a second hand sale.

I also had Poirot book by Anne Hart which was a great buy. Plus poirot DVD episode for 20p.

It doesn't exactly count but someone bought me the Agatha Chrisite game for my birthday. They got it second hand as it's out of production. I have played and it is fun! I think no-one will want to play me ever again, so far Ive always won
