Good Lord! I can't imagine ayone buying these. I've known some wealthy American collectors in my time, but this is steep! | ||

If I were a wealthy American collector I'd buy them! If the collection was $6,500 I'd be tempted (but unable to justify it). $650 and I would have probably already bought them (and be trying to resign myself to the fact that I couldn't buy anything else for the rest of the year). | ||

I wonder how the bookseller justifies the asking price, e.g. why 65,000 and not 32,500 or 16,250. | ||

I can't quite see how they arrive at that price anyway. To what could they have compared these letters? This is a unique item so unless you're selling at auction I can't see this is anything beyond greed. Mind you, I used to buy books from Currey back in the 'eighties and they often seemed overpriced then. | ||

He seems way over priced on a lot of stuff. He has first edition Fahenheit 451s for 3 times the most expensive ebay listing... |
