I suppose if I was interested in bidding I might not want to alert others because they might push the price up.

£2,050 so far, with 9 1/2 hours to go.

Indulging in a little fantasy arithmetic: I have number 11, if I did buy number 1, would that make eleventy-one?

Just kidding but that is the one number I might have been tempted to pay a (little) extra for ;-)

Excellent plan. Watch some idiot come along and mention it ... oh.

Auction just closed. Winning bid £4,100.00. Weird timing as I read this thread and checked out the ebay page with 18 seconds left.

Another 1 spotted,

>7 bacchus.: they've used photos from folio. It's actually number 383 (according to the description).

>8 EdmundRodriguez:

He's a reputable-enough dealer. He's upfront in saying "The books are new in the original Folio Society packaging hence why the Folio Society pictures have been used."

Ah, my apologies. Thanks for pointing out.
