Well that's a good tip for bargain hunters - find out where they are filming these episodes and roll up on the day to snaffle up the bargains!
Hey, if you come across any more Conan Doyle items give me a shout
I got obsessed with him and I've got a bill addressed to Holmes that I received from the Baker Street Museum, some Russian dolls in the style of Holmes characters, SH Lego mini-figure, badges, signed pastiche books, his business card with his signature (obv not
real!), etc.
I'll have to go through my book collection one day and note down everything I have with dates and the condition, just out of interest to see what their value is. I reckon the two Strands I mentioned, the one with the Baskerville story and the one with the first 5 Holmes stories are the most valuable but I could be wrong.
Now if I had a Beeton's I'd be laughing my way out of this recession! Not that I'd part with it, that's the problem isn't it? They might be worth thousands but would you let them out of your possession?
I have an evil streak and I might specify in my will that all my most valuable books are buried with me - just to piss everyone off!
