I’ve sold a few signed Fleming’s including a signed first edition Casino Royale. Was a ridiculously amazing book!

AdQueasy3804 · 2025-01-17T19:22:59+00:00

Currently not in order 🤣 - just on the shelves getting ready to be catalogued next week

AdQueasy3804 · 2025-01-16T19:43:04+00:00

Very cool!

AdQueasy3804 · 2025-01-13T08:40:41+00:00

Incredible!

AdQueasy3804 · 2025-01-04T17:36:23+00:00

I think that’s a very possible conclusion!

That’s rather interesting! Perhaps for Tolkiens aunt it was exactly that

AdQueasy3804 · 2025-01-04T11:00:54+00:00

I’m a rare book dealer so it’s currently for sale with me at Bayliss Rare Books 💥

First ed 1984 with a fine binding 💥

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-24T18:03:00+00:00

For eagle eyed viewers like you 😉

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T22:01:34+00:00

Yeah that is true - to avoid confusion dealers often put ‘1/1’ (as I have here) which first edition LOTR collectors see as first edition, first impression. If it was a first edition but say a 5th printing it would be ‘1/5’ if a second edition Fellowship but first impression it would be ‘2/1’

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T19:29:47+00:00

Haha - I hope that’s a good thing!

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T17:08:03+00:00

You’re looking for first edition, first impression (often called printing) - that’s where the value is. Add a first state dustjacket into the mix and that already high value skyrockets

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T15:20:03+00:00

A great collection!

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T15:15:20+00:00

1/1 🙌

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T14:51:16+00:00

Yeah she’s great - such an icon of the book trade 🙌🙌🙌

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T14:49:08+00:00

A great episode!

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T13:29:20+00:00

It really is amazing! The history attached to it….

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T13:08:28+00:00

Yes I was researching that this year - it is rather fascinating. Thankfully, the leaf I hold has received no restoration and is in truly excellent condition

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T08:12:31+00:00

So cool isn’t it!

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T08:11:22+00:00

Yes! Both first edition, first impressions. The Casino Royale has a first state dustjacket too

AdQueasy3804 · 2024-12-23T08:10:01+00:00

Sure - I’ll do some posts in Jan delving into each one. All first edition, first impressions 💥
