Quite a bargin for £20 I dont really know alot about the value of books, this book was printed 18 yrs after the first one so i dont see why it couldnt have been singed ?? I bought the book at a car boot sale, I'll get some pics up you can let me know what ya think ? Link to post Share on other sites

Ricky-N.p.p 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Ok folks after Phoning the book dealers this morning, it would seem apparant that because the word reprint is used it is unlikey that the book would be from the 18th centuary therefor it cannot be an authentic signature of the author. Had it been as discribed the book would have been worth well over £600 so still for sale at £20 Link to post Share on other sites
