This week's finds

The first find was a corker for £2. A softcover book about the Bond film Goldeneye. I was only flicking through it to look at the pictures, and was surprised when I saw the entry for Desmond Llewellyn signed by him. He is greatly missed as Q - a legend of the Bond films.

My second find still needs some verification as I have not found any exemplars to verify against as yet, and also have an email out to the author.

 

Sole Provider USA HB 1/1 2002 by Scoop Jackson

 

This is a limited edition bible for fans of basketball and Nike footwear. Quite an incredible in depth look at the subject. The inside cover appears to be sigend with a basketball doodle, but it may also be random writing. My gut feeling is that iot is teh author ESPN journalist Scoop Jackson. Paid £3 for this.

Re: This week's finds

Forgot to add, there was another sigend book. It is dedicated to the name of a prominent member of this forum, so I posted it to them yesterday.

Re: This week's finds

Outstanding finds Nigel..What a find the bond book is...just as you have started that card collection from Christmas....and to find a Desmond Llewellyn graph in it...Brilliant mate.

 

How the Scoop Jackson turns out to be the real deal...That's an awesome find in itself.

 

2 more good finds also ..very productive week for you.

Re: This week's finds

some great finds Nigel, love the Desmond Llewellyn, bet you couldn't believe your luck when you spotted that, I'm guessing most people looking for signed books don't flick any further than the first few pages
