    Oh, I will, hopefully when I see them (prob in the camel races on Tuesday) they'll give me some Frankincense. The last time they give me Muhr it was okay, maybe you got a shitty batch.

    that would be very nice of you,i will hopefully have them scanned,i fear doing them hear as a computer scanner will just abuse such old paper.

    i love old books,my dream is to one day own a copy of the first pressing of "This Side Of Paradise" by F Scott Fitzgerald,but its so expensive!

    I love that book although not as much as I love The Great Gatsby. I hope you'll manage to get the 1st edition one day.

    That's a lot of money for a book, even if it is Fitzgerald.
    Would you be willing to spend that much on one book provided you actually had the money?

    My roots are in Ireland - in Castlebar, Co.Mayo, and Waterville, Co.Kerry, three generations ago.

    The furthest back I know are my great-great-grandparents. All of which came from Manchester and this is where the family stayed, until work meant my parents moved to Stockport and this is where I find myself now.

    For $90,000 pick up Action Comics #1 the first Superman.
    You never know what and where you will find stuff. Guy around the block was cleaning everything out and had a garage sale. I stopped the car as I saw a box of comics and knew that at one point he had kids that were older than I. I found a few issues for $1 each that were worth some bank but I saw laying out there a first edition copy of Hemmingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls. I also picked that up for $1.

    Some things we have to have. I spent an arm and a leg but I made sure I eventually added an original Amazing Fantasy 15 into my hands. (1st Spiderman.) Some things are worth the money.

    well it is my favorite book of all time, and i read it at least twice a year,so it has always been a dream, if was a millionaire,i would have every edition of it ever printed.

    as for comics,i was never a fan ,other than dick tracy, which i have some of them,mainly though just original chicago tribune editions that they were printed in.
