So they may vary from copy to copy. I think in the days of milk being home delivered (still was happening when I was very young), homemakers having affairs with (or running away with) the milkman was a staple of comedians. Jeez is that suppose to be a milkman? I thought it was a sailor. Who runs away with a milkman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the online portion ended, apparently it was THEN opened to a live floor location for bidding. I called, I spoke with the auctioneer, who said just bid online...and refused to take an absentee bid, refused to take/make calls during the live bidding as well. The site locked up/did not accept my bid when I was trying to snipe/leave in the last minute. It happens. I wouldn't be crazy about the method of running the auction if I were a consignor.

Can't recall any milk trucks careening down the road with an attractive woman in the passenger seat. Maybe I don't drive the more romantic section.

How many issues do you need to complete your Baker St. John crime run? I've got all the crime books as well. Wrt his St John work, I'm still missing a few of his Westerns and a few of his horror books. The prices on those have been heading north at a rapid rate, but I'll eventually track them down. sagii and Microbia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is truly an astounding feat! I can't think of anyone else has done that. These books are SO hard to find and such a beautiful copy to end it with. As Mitch would say CONG!
