A PENNY PAPERBACK

A book I was wanting to borrow from the library was not available as it was out on loan so I went on the the UK Amazon site to see if I could get it there. Well ... (apart from having a new one for sale) there were nearly a dozen used books for sale for 1 pence plus £2.80 for postage and packing! I bought one at 1 pence and it came 4 days after I ordered it on line. It actually was postmarked as coming from Dunfermline, a city on the east of Scotland.


What puzzles me is ... what is going on here? One pence! Well, even at £3.00 I can't see how this works.
