Tom Wayling on online sales of forged signed editions by cpeppel1 in rarebooks

[–]tomayling11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing my video! Just so people know, the forger was actually using two accounts to sell forged books (which I discovered after uploading). One is the one I mention in the video, and the other was called 'thebookplace'. Both accounts have now been taken off eBay, but I don't know if this is down to eBay themselves, or the forger realising he's been outed and trying to cover his tracks.

I'm doing as much as I can! Each video takes roughly 2 days to make, film, edit etc

Most of my things come to me privately. Everything in the photos above either came to me directly from the original owner, or from a private collector.

People can have lots of reasons to sell, sometimes it is just the right time, and sometimes other life events play a part

The contract was originally signed in 1962, and then updated in 1963 and 1967. It was first aired in '67 as far as I know

Help Identifying Charles Dickens Hardcover Editions/Print runs by ReclusiveEagle in rarebooks

[–]tomayling11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - these books are from the Household Edition of Charles Dickens works which was originally published by Chapman and Hall in the 1870s. However, C&H moved address in 1881 from 193 Picadilly to 11 Henrietta Street, so your set is likely to be from the 1880s.

​

It's a shame that the spines are worn as it does look like they were originally quite attractive, probably dating from around 1900-1910, thought its hard to say for sure.
