Another enthralling piece Nigel. Mind, no one knows anything as Goldman said of Hollywood. I can remember a wise man saying Rangers were the safest investment in Scotland - 'backed by Scottish bankers'. And I know a wise old journalist who put everything into Equitable in the 80s arggh.

In your own dark trade I can remember an 80s book dealer buying up as many John Fowles firsts as he could lay his hands on. I doubt if he got his money back.

But how to tell what will grow and what will sink? I'm glad I don't have to make money out of books! I bet even Gregory Sallust would end up tearing up the cards and freeing the goats.

Astounding what can be found in private libraries.
Does remind me of the seller who said that he didn't mind obscure collectors as they would eventually pass away and their collection would go up for auction.
