Looks nice but I assume it was quite expensive.
ReplyDeleteI suppose one's definition of 'expensive' is relative, CJ.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Kid, but judging by your photos it looks like a hefty tome so I'm guessing it was at least £30 and anything less than that would be a good bargain!
ReplyDelete£30? If only, CJ, if only.
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago I was in Waterstone's and I saw a book about the mythical Greek hero Odysseus or more specifically about his island kingdom of Ithica and whether that island was real or not. The book looked very interesting with lots of colour photos but I was horrified when I saw the price - it cost around £80 so I put it back on the shelf!
ReplyDeleteI must own more than 20 books that cost much more than that, CJ. Each, I mean. A book is forever, and well-worth having.
ReplyDeleteThe awful thing about these books are their weight. I have the Taschen Tiki and Magic books, and someday plan to get the Pin up book, but they take up a lot of real estate! Congrats on it, tho. And thank goodness for Barry Pearl!
ReplyDeleteAnd Nick Caputo, LM. Yeah, they're heavy, and I'm surprised to see that though this book was shrink-wrapped, some of the glossy cover pages are quite wrinkled in places. (Bad ream of paper perhaps?) I'll have to get my iron out.
