1st Ed. Borlase Antiquities

[Ellery]

I now have a spare copy of Borlase's Antiquities of Cornwall. It is a first edition, in contemporary full calf binding, and with all 23 plates plus map of Cornwall intact.

I would like to get £500 for it, but can negotiate. I would also be willing to swap, or partially swap, for other books not in my collection.

[Tennven]

alas, (or is that elhas?) I have nothing but some magic beans? Would these interest you?

[Ellery]

It depends what kind of magic beans

[Karesk]

I have some amazing silk robes trimmed with gold that only very, very clever people can see.

[Marhak]

Settle for magic mushrooms?

[Coady]

I expect most people would go for the reprint at £17.50 Ellery, but I admire your optimism in trying to get £500 from Cornishmen!
It's pleasant to own and handle an old book and I can understand the attraction absolutely. I hope it sells.
MY £500 has just gone on getting my old truck through the MOT
