Hi
I was wondering how you got hold of this? Is this something you produced yourself? Are there any copyright issues, etc?

Hi everyone
Thought I’d better quickly make myself known to everyone and not be accused of lurking in the shadows! And also because I have a bizarre story which I’ve got to tell especially after what’s just happened!
I’ve been interested in PQ since reading – strangely enough – Andy Collins’ books in the early 90s and have maintained a curious interest since then. I’m not generally a great “believer” in anything, more of a general agnostic but there’ something about psychic phenomena that intrigues me and has done for a number of years (I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t to take a look at some of Colin Wilson’s theories in books like The Occult, Mysteries, and Beyond the Occult).
In the late 90s, quite a while after I’d read The Seventh Sword I used to pay monthly visits to a second hand book shop in Derby a few miles from where I worked. One time I’d been in the day before and found nothing of interest. Normally I’d just wait 3 or 4 weeks to pop in again for a browse but this particular time I felt an overwhelming urge to go back because I just knew that I would find something I’d been looking for for quite a while. I even had a suspicion of what it might be (which I won’t reveal yet). This urge was so overwhelming it felt like I had no choice; it was almost like I was being “pulled” there by an invisible rope. At the time I hadn’t thought of myslef as being psychic or particularly “sensitive”. I could sometimes guess who was on the telephone before answering and things like that but that’s not so unusual. Anyway, I went back to the book shop, walked through the door and straight to a shelf facing me. There facing outwards, on display, was a copy of The Green Stone – near mint, hardback, first edition. Yes, this was the book I had suspected. I paid £5 for it (doesn’t that make you feel sick), trying to keep my cool and asked when they’d got the book. It had just come in the day before in the afternoon.
Whether anyone believes this or not, I don’t know – but it’s just happened again. About 30 minutes ago I felt a compunction to go on e-bay and search for The Green Stone which I did. Incredibly, there was an auction for a 1st edition, hardback which was ending in 2 minutes. I put in a bid. I won. It cost a lot more than £5 though! This seems pretty ridiculous to me but if anyone could offer any theories about why I seem to be destined to buy a lot of old Graham Phillips (and Martin Keatman) books I’d be grateful. BTW – I only have one paperback copy of The Eye of Fire and came across that by accident but with no accompanying wierd sensation!
Kind regards to one and all
Andy FP.S – apologies to anyone here if I’ve just gazumped you!
