Bookshelves are full to overflowing, so looking to dispose of a few excess items. First up, a Wall and Piece first edition / first printing with full number line. Hardcover with pictorial boards, in near fine condition apart from a small ink inscription on the front endpaper. Lacks the dustwrapper, but still very uncommon (at least in the bookcollecting world!). Two copies online at present on Abebooks, one in dustwrapper for £1000 and one without for £395. Both overpriced, I think. I'm not really sure what this is worth, but I'm open to suggestions or offers. Pics on request.

Bought a new Wall & Piece book today... 1st edition?

But wondered if anyone knew what the numbers represent???

All three of mine were published in 2005 but wondered how these No#s are used/determine release date etc???









Any knowledge greatly appreciated...

[Rsyok]

Hi Speebe,
Ive always thought if the last number of the long number is a '1' then its the first edition..
www.booklibris.com/BLFirstEditionID.htm but that 25 screws that guide as it would be 5th printing! Anyone got more of a clue ?

edit top of this thread ..
UK £20
CAN $54.95
ISBN: 1-8441-3786-4
Barcode: 9781844137862
1st editions are numbered 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 [page 3]
Printed in Germany. 2005.

[trapnel1]

No way of knowing release date from the number line, apart from the first printing. The lowest number on the line tells you the printing. So, from top down in your pictures - 19th printing, 25th printing and (on the bottom) a true first printing.

This is the first edition

[speebe]

Cheers guys...

I was in no rush to get this upon release as it was everywhere, I bought all the smallers books as gifts but never kept any for myself, I've always kicked myself for not buying more or indeed the 1st ed with the DJ when I had the chance.

My first edition was only bought a week ago, despite buying my first one (19th ed) in 2005, the latest was a steal and sent in great condition.

Good to know that cheap ones are still out there!

[fingerz]

was just digging out the pics of my 1st ed with DJ i had to have a look but seems its all sorted .... i'm to slow .... lol

[xmyart]

Ok so i had this about a month and its living in a box in my wardrobe!!! cant leave it out as people pick it and flick through it (not likely to end well). Not going to get round to boxing it and putting it on the wall, and i want some more art and am broke, again!!

So if you have something to trade then let me know. If i get anything i like then the book goes, if not its going to live in darkness for a while :-( Will deliver it within reason to make sure its safe.

Hammer me for flipping if you will, but it just seemed a good idea at the time, but its pointless where it is at the moment.

[craigf]

Any idea what you are after wrt artisits / trade value?

[xmyart]

To be honest, no not really. Was going to see what came up and go from there. According to EB its worth about 30 usd. But something tells me thats not a great guide for this.

sorry for being so flakey, but i just thought i would throw it out there.

[fingerz]

the dust jacket looks in decent nick , which is what counts imo

[hunter007]

i got the regular edition ill swap for this then you can leave it out~?

[xmyart]

lol cheers for the offer hunter a good solution but not the best offer so far im affraid.

Thats what i would have guessed to fingerz, panic ran through me each time i saw someone had picked the dam thing up!!

take the cover off?

[xmyart]

Hmm now that is a good point. If i dont get anything i want, i think that may well be the way forward!!

[xmyart]

Well i am getting offers, nothing that makes me jump in a second so far. But i keep getting asked about the value, i went for swaps as i just dont know.

What would these be worth ballpark?

[trapnel1]

There are two copies for sale at www.abebooks.com with dustwrappers, both described as fine and priced at £1000 and £773. Both have been on sale at for some time. I have seen a copy sell at £300, so I think to a serious bookcollector a fine copy might be worth this amount.

The dustwrapper on your copy looks good - very good from the pictures. Dustwrapper condition is the key to value, so my guess would be around £100 to a collector.

Interestingly, one of the sellers on ABEbooks says that only around 100 copies were released with dustwrapper, which would make this very rare and probably worth holding on to. Does anyone have any definite information on this?

(I should declare that I have two copies with G/VG dustwrappers, both picked up for £30 or so online).

[xmyart]

Yep thats what i saw online too, well the one for 1k anyway. But i would love to know if there are only 100 in existance. As you say, that would then make it a keeper for sure, and justify the UV box for sure. I couldnt find anything regarding the numbers that were issued. Cheers for the info.

You did well to get two for that kind of cash thats for sure!!

[fingerz]

i tried to find out about the numbers produced but only found what trapnel1 found out .....

[Sacked...]

Why dont you ask the publisher ,how many were produced in dust jackets.

[trapnel1]

Fine copy went for £310 on ebay in June, and a near fine for 200 AUD in July (which I think was pretty cheap). I would be surprised if there were as few as 100 copies, so would be good if someone could provide definite info!

[xmyart]

Yep the Aussie one is mine. Was listed to oz only which I think is why I got it on maiden bid.

Did you try the publisher fingerz?

[craigf]

There are a lot more than 100 copies with the jacket, but still a nice item (I wouldn't for one second consider framing and putting one on the wall though!)

[hunter007]

am i correct that this is purely a dust jacket? no hand sprayed etc etc? I know books can be collectable but to frame this would be madness ?.

So you got yours for 210 australian dollars on ebay and want some mug, sorry person to give you art to the value of £1000? Am I right? Nice!

Nope your completly wrong. If your going to join the dots, can you do it properly. Might avoid coming over like an unecesarily jumpy knob then.

Im looking to maybe trade it for something i like. I havnt put any value on the trades at all. there are just mentions of the prices on whats out there in the way of other copies. But thanks for the character assassination.
