Shrimpy

[absit_omen]

After lunch yesterday my mother in law gave me a copy of Shrimpy. Hardback, dust cover, 1981 first edition in near fine condition.

She bought it at a junk shop for 25p

Today I told her what it was worth.

"Bully for you" was her reply. There IS a God!

How much is it worth then?

 

[absit_omen]

One on Amazon for £177.00

Not enough for me to retire on then.

 

[absit_omen]

Still a pretty good return on 25p!

You lucky person. I hope you enjoy it.

Crikey got a signed one on the shelf. Great book

The best way to read it is on the 'net' with google earth open as well. You can keep flicking back and forth - and opening the photos labeled, for an enhanced perspective of Shane Acton's famous voyage

I got a signed copy from a chandlers of all places for £4. Great story, badly written.

That's a later soft back! (bid retraction to follow)

I've got a signed copy of that too. I'm not selling it, though. I lend it out to people all the time- either the ones who don't understand and look at me blankly when I try to explain, or the ones who already understand totally. Great book for both camps!
