I have a book which I'm interested to know more about if there are any experts here.......
its called 'Shooting by Moor, Field and Shore, by Eric Parker (et al). It is a signed and limited edition copy 185/360. Dated 1929. It's leather bound in what I would call 'not bad condition' no pages missing, all are clean and free from staining or damage, and the cover is in good order, happy to add some photos if it's of any help.
its signed by the author, is printed on handmade paper, and all the images/plates are either actual photos stuck to the pages or original artwork by Winifred Austen......
its a fascinating book, and whilst I can find books by the same title online, I can't find anything that is like what I have described above.
this isn't a for sale advert, but if anyone had an idea of its worth I'd be interested to know, in case it warranted being insured? I remember doing some research about it a few years ago which made me think at the time this was worth a few hundred pounds, although all the lesser mass produced ones seem to be between £30-£150...?
So, anyone know anything about it? Is it rare? Or just something nice to enjoy!
