where?

[trapnel1]

I have picked up two for £10 each within the last two years. Both on ABEbooks.co.uk. They tend to disappear very quickly when they are listed by retailers who don't realise true value. Both appeared as copies with dustwrapper, but were not highlighted as first editions (although they are from the number line). I think that any copy advertised with a dustwrapper will be a first, even if the seller doesn't mention it. Sometimes they don't. Dustwrapper condition is critical. The two I picked up are VG- in book collector parlance. I would not value them at any more than £50-100. A truly F/F copy is probably worth 200 - 500 at present. The two copies on ABEbooks at present (£675 and £1000) have been there for a long time without selling.....

I can see everyone on here scouring Abebooks for the next 6 months....good luck!

[fingerz]

What condition is the Banksy book in?

[DrWhite]

Looking for a hardback copy of this with the dust cover, if anyone has a spare they would consider parting with please PM me.
Cheers

With dust cover? quite a rare thing now i reckon, you have lots of cash ready i hope?.

[DrWhite]

Haven't seen many come up - seen a couple advertised with a set of 4 cards inc kissing coppers, Liita, and 2 others wrapped in Banksy tag apparently given out free to promote sales of the first edition - anyone else come across these ?

[DrWhite]

I believe the other 2 cards may have been rats on anti climb paint sign & golf sale ?

[xmyart]

Probably wouldnt hold too much to those card sets. There was an ebay seller with a huge pile of them they were listing. I would guess a fair few will now be copies That have been added to the book. Unless you can find someone on here thats trustworthy and has them.

[dogzero]

I have one of these. Would consider parting with it. Just popping out now - I'll put a photo up later. Feel free to PM me.

Cheers,

AJ.

[xmyart]

Fingerz one is long gone!

[achtungbono]

I have one kicking about , but not wanting to part unless its stipid money. or a signed banksy blates

[DrWhite]

Following up on some solid leads - thx to everyone who has PM'd & assisted in the search. You know who you are !

[xmyart]

Good work! Glad you found one dude.

[Gunny]

I didn't know where to put this, but i think i picked up a Wall and Piece first edition, first printing with a dustjacket - does anyone know how I can check this out? It does not say first edition or first printing, but it does not say otherwise and just says 'first printed by' in '2005'

Any ideas ?

thanks in advance

[confused2]

Turn to the page that says:

Published by Century in 2005

1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2

Copyright is for losers

If it says that, then it's a first edition.

[Gunny]

hi, yes it does say that, but how can i tell if its a first edition, first printing? It has the dust jacket also which I believe is very rare? thanks

this ..... cant find a pic , must of deleted it

[Gunny]

So, does anyone know the rough value of this book, I was told as it has the dust jacket, it is quite valuable? I am just curious.........

[fingerz]

theres one on the forum at the min for 300 , gallery's & adobe books or whatever its called 1k

[DrWhite]

Hi, I recently set out to purchase one of these - I was offered several & the priced varied depending on condition of the book & jacket. Though to be fair a good condition first edition can be had for approx £40-£50. The dust jacket therefore introduces the rarity value & needs to be in good / excellent condition to justify the premium - prices ranged from £150 - £950 when I was looking

[Forbidden Love]

For the £900 I'd rather by a unsigned print.

[Gunny]

wey hey, I paid £2.50 in a charity shop!

[confused2]

Not a bad scoop then!

Not all Banksy charity shop finds are that cheap, but here's another gem still available from Oxfam...

[trapnel1]

If you're patient, they do crop up online from time to time at ABEbooks at a reasonable price, usually when listed by a non-specialist dealer. I have two which cost me £10 each, although in each case the wrapper is no better than VG- (in book collector terms). Can't beat your £2.50 example though......
