| 701090 | 2008-08-28 22:41:00 | I have acquired a book entitled, "When Steam Was King," by the famous railway photographer and painter W . W . Stewart . It was part of the Thames High School library (withdrawn) and is a bit tatty but in reasonable condition . It was published by A . H . & A . W . Reed in 1970 . A small square of paper has been affixed to the first page which has a drawing of a small locomotive (looks a bit like a single Fairlie) on the top half with his signature underneath . Signed copies of books usually command a better price, do they not? Any idea if it has any value and approximately how much? |

| 701091 | 2008-08-28 22:47:00 | Roscoe I am a book lover myself and I used to recover and redo old books like that. I tried to find out how big a market we have in NZ for older first editions and limited editions - no luck, but checking Trademe and Ebay may possibly give you some indication - seeing that it is a steam engine book. sarel |
