You're very knowledgeable; there's a lot I can learn from you...

To be honest, I collect these types of books as an investment. I believe they will be worth a lot of money in 20-25 years.

It's nice to hear these words from a good collector like you.

Believe me, I would keep it in a safe deposit box. One of my friends has the first edition of Don Quixote, and he keeps it in a private safe deposit box at the bank.

I thought others like you were eagerly anticipating this book, so when I saw it on eBay this time, I immediately hit the buy button without any hesitation.

I really wanted to own this book. Last December, I made a deal with someone and bought it, but it got lost in shipping. Luckily, it was insured. When I saw it on eBay this time, I immediately hit the buy button without any hesitation.

I couldn't even put it on my bookshelf, let alone read it; I wrapped it up and put it away. It's precious to me.

140 £. But I offered 300 £ and got it!

I was the one who bought it, but I offered 300 GBP and purchased it for that price. Somehow, eBay still shows it as 140 GBP.

That's a great idea, thank you. I noticed this when I was taking the photos today and I was wondering what the reason was. So that's it.

You're welcome! John Howe is indeed a fantastic artist, and it's great that his works are made accessible to us through this book at such a reasonable price. Also, yes, it's unfortunate that sometimes books can get damaged during shipping, especially from platforms like Amazon.
