I bought all of the Jim Dale audio books on CD, and I listen to them 
at work.  An excellent way to speed up a mundane day!!  I'm so glad 
that they are performed by a brit, it sets the mood properly.  As an 
American, I don't think an American accent could have pulled that off.

Since the audio books retail anywhere from $50 (US) to $75 each, 
buying them slightly used through Amazon is a great deal.  I think I 
paid between $12(SS) and $25(OotP) for each one.  Under the used 
section through Amazon, you can even find new editions through a third 
party that are cheap (relatively speaking).
