paddymac Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I dont know about it being valued at £200+ but it is a well sought after book by a lot of pigeon fanciers and will most likely fetch a lot more than you paid for it. The last one I seen for sale on ebay fetched over £80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showman Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 At present I would estimate the 'vansaalen' book at £40.Dave Allens book would be about £25 (signed or un-signed) I can only say the copy on E-bay is of such high 'value' is that it's from an American seller! They have some weird valuations! As has already been stated, books are only worth what you're willing to pay, and what you're happy with. Your purchases were exceptional.....fair play to ya !! Right place...right time !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
