I actually found four books for £1 each, but this was the pick of the bunch, and a nice historical piece to add to my collection. The other three will probably end on eBay to fund my stamps for ttm requests.
Round The World On Wings Of A Song Limited Numbered Autographed Edition HB 1/1 1993 by Sir Henry Howard
This copy is numbered 174 out of 500, and Sir Henry autographed his portrait picture next to the title page adding the date 23/3/33.
Henry Coward (26 November 1849 – 10 June 1944) was a British conductor.

I have seen quite a few book dealers trying to sell signed copies of this for £100 plus, but realistically in the current market I would imagine it is worth somewhere between £20 and £50.

I of course mean 1933 not 1993. My typing is crap lately.
