Once More with Footnotes cheap on Ebay it's at £16 at the moment, there's a reserve that hasn't been met yet (it may be v. high), but I know I won't be able to afford it. Sooooooooooooo Heads Up!

There are a couple of others on there that are at £420 and £229 art the moment as a comparison...

Think i'll wait til the book of short stories comes out . Price of OMWFN is too high . It'd be nice if i'd gotten a copy years back but won't fork out a few hundred

Me neither, any ETA on that? I've been naughty and read them online :oops:

not heard at all. And a few of the online ones are there quite legally

Bought a few of the anthologies with the stories for next to nothing as well so i've read most of them. still half hopeful of stumbling across a copy mispriced in a second hand shop but hey you can dream

That makes for an interesting moral dilemma - if you saw OMWFN in a charity shop priced at eg £5, would you tell them of their mistake or buy it? Would the identity of the charity make any difference?

No judgements, by the way. Just wondered.

I might give them £5 extra and say keep the change... :wink:

That's so generous :lol:

Does that apply too when you find a rare Japanese porcelaine?

:roll:

Kicking myself all the way but I would most probably point it out to the charity. UGH!

As the third printing it might not make the really high prices a first printing would. You could get lucky here Dave

It's at £31 now, too high for me already, I know it's a bargain but...

I thought there were only 2500 copies, how many printings were there?

by **The Mad Collector** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:15 am

As far as I know there were just 3 printings. 2,500 is the total number, the first printing was for 1000 I think.
