Hi all. As per title
Looking for a copy of Terry Dempseys book. How much should I expect to pay for a good condition copy? Realise there was only 1 print run but don't know how many copies were printed hence it probably commands a premium.

Just looked at the ad. Only 1 pic of front cover. No description of book itself apart from '1st cass' I person's idea of 1st class isn't always everybody's! Ideally it needs more pics ..back cover, spine ,inside leaf etc. Any discolouration to top of book?? It's all a tad vague tbh

Just had a look at what's out there £63 seems cheap. Most of the second hand book sellers are asking £150 plus. Ask the seller for more pics. Will give you a better idea of condition.

Did you ask them for more info/photos?

I might buy it and flip it for double with loads of photos and a massive description 😂😂😂

I thought £63 seemed cheap.. too cheap perhaps? Given that the seller hasn't given a description of the book that most true booksellers would provide ( only quoted the sleeve/back page) suggests they either don't know what's expected or it might not be as tidy as expected.

It's listed in first class condition. By a seller with 100% positive feedback over nearly 1k sales. The dust cover is absolutely mint. Looks brand new.

Not certain what more that you could ask for personally 😂

A written assurance Terry himself would hand deliver it?
