Book series I quite like

I've had these three books for quite some time now, and was wondering if anyone else has read any of the other volumes in this series.

These are the three books in question. They are part of the "Curiosities Of... : A County Guide to the Unusual" series and I've always found them fascinating. I first purchased the Norfolk and Suffolk ones while I was working at work experience in Thetford's Ancient House Museum, and I was given the Cambridgeshire one as a gift. Since then I have only seen two others: one for Worcestershire, and the other for Leicestershire and Rutland. It seems to me that the style of cover for the Cambridgeshire one is the norm judging from the other two I've seen but not been able to purchase, and that the Norfolk and Suffolk ones, while clearly part of the same series, are the only ones with that style. 
Has anyone else seen or does anyone own any others? And moreover, where may I be able to purchase the others?

If you put the following sentence  into google - including the double quotation marks  - 

 

book series "a county guide to the unusual"

 

You get a few returns -  Cumbria, Bedfordshire, Wiltshire and so on.

 

A quick look shows them to be mainly from amazon second hand dealers at varying prices. Being Australian I'm  not sure if they are expensive or not.
