    Default I think we've found the rarest/most expensive book

    Going for more than Peepholism, easily. I bet this will reach £100 at the end.

    Linky Here.

    Toying with the idea of raising a bit of cash myself. What I could do is copy each page in Grayscale, zip them all up in a file, and put a link up, as well as selling it, then everyone wins. Will ponder for a week or two.

    I'd never heard of it until a few weeks ago when someone asked if someone could scan it

    It went for £51 last time.

    Morrissey: "I'm not in!"
    Jools: "Oh, come on."
    Morrissey: "I refuse to open the door."

    Thumbs up Re: I think we've found the rarest/most expensive book

    Louder tahn bombs went for $126.50, that £63.00 sterling.

    I don't think you'll get too rich on this one Uncle skinny just yet.

    As you may have guessed I won the auction at long long long last.

    Can't wait to recieve the book. Its also up for action again as we speak for those who missed out.

    Cheers.

    I remember flicking through a copy of this in a bookshop many years back. Wished I'd brought it now! I have the Strangeways music book for piano and guitar. Is this worth anything?

    I'm after Oscilate Wildly for the piano if anyone has any ideas where I can lay my hands on a copy?

    Default That's my pension sorted then.

    Woot! Finally...



    Seriously though, Ebay prices are nuts. The plan is to get all pages scanned and turn it into a PDF for download, then possibly sell on via Ebay. How much do you think it would go for?

    Cheers,

    I have "The World Won't Listen" 1987 songbook. It has piano and guitar chords for Oscilate Wildly, but probably simplified. I can ask someone if it's poss to scan, or photocopy failing that.

    PS there's several copies showing cheap on Amazon.
