Well, thanks for the tip, I took a bunch and got my Christmass gift to the family already sorted out :-)

Mine arrived today, a brand new copy!

I actually went into a charity shop to look at the books with Wall And Piece in mind and I couldn't believe it when there was one on the shelf, that day I imagined myself winning the lottery also but I guess it was a one time deal.

I have a Wall and Piece hardcover first edition, it has the book line number of 10, no other numbers, can anyone confirm if this would be a first print?
thanks

The first printing should have a complete number line which contains the number 1... Sounds like you have a tenth printing.

I didn't realize they did a Japanese version of this Banksy Book! Looks pretty cool, something different for collectors who don't just want the standard version.
I could only find one like that on ebay - ebay.us/yu6l5v

Wow 🤩 You got to wonder if this forum is still the right place to sell these if there hasn’t been any interest yet 🤔

As I said the other day , “ forum “ -most, new ones often- want newbies, new drops, hype and flipping art.
This one I repeat, is a pure gem and merits for the same price, one Invader last prints (or new prints)
Time will tell ..

Very true Lroy. I’d rather had an early banksy then a recent Banksy or a recent Invader. The young maybe don’t realise. It’s the history. I guess you need to be of a certain age before you appreciate its history

Anyway, even if I’m not too young, I have not enough money to buy what I did not bought in the past. So, as others, I’m following the wave and take what is happening. Marketing 2024.

Well I never bought anything either, no money and I liked Hockney a lot.

pjc - would love to know more information on above. Where is this information from? I am fortunate enough to have one of these very rare copies, but I do not know much about the original pressing / print run.

I've got the second edition (not rare, piss easy to get, found it for £10 in charity shop) and they still have the white version of the cover. My paper back 2006 version has the darker cover, basically looks like the flower thrower postcard above with the accentuated pointing and greyer brick. 

Not trying to throw shade obvi this has no impact on the value of OPs book, I just think the print history is interesting so sharing.

Incidentally I'd kill for those postcards.

Buy the book and postcards and flip the book. Will save a ton of jailtime.

I've never seen / heard of a second edition hardcover with a dustwrapper,  so interested to see that if you have one.

Most of the first editions (complete number line going down to 1) had no dustwrapper.  First editions with dustwrapper are the ones a book collector would prefer. Cheapest online at the moment seems to be a rather tatty eBay copy at £500, with a few nice copies from book sellers significantly more expensive.

All the copies I have seen, the dustwrapper has been the same colour.  I would like to see the two variants side by side to see the difference - but the seller seems to be describing what I would call a rare first state of the first edition.

Maybe its a first edition no dust cover...its all the descriptions of "first editions" and "real first editions" that are throwing me 

Doesn't have a dust cover anyway

[RBK]

A lot of confusing stuff above.

The first edition Wall & Piece pressing had a dust jacket with the postcards. Exactly as pjc is selling in his thread.

I was more curious of the information on the edition size, release info, etc. if people have that knowledge.  

Good luck with the sale.

[Pete the Post]

When it comes to the main run, not this one from the first run of 20. i called the publisher years ago, and went through the runs with a member of staff whose interest i piqued. It turned out the first run for sale was in the tens of thousands.
