Serena - I'm pleased that you found the photo resize and upload instructions useful

My standard edition of the book is number 70. I think it was purchased in 1998. It was the most expensive ever for me, because it led to me buying a Bristol!

Greg, I don't see this as my responsibility. This site does not purport to be an auction site and I would draw attention to this sticky thread at the beginning of this section of the site. Caveat emptor!

That said, if it were listed on eBay and a link to the item posted here and the other Bristol forums, it is very likely that it would still be purchased by a Bristol enthusiast. It is unlikely that a dealer would pay as much for the book as a genuine enthusiast.

eBay does of course offer the advantage of a public auction system, although it's traceability is not fool proof (as I know from personal experience) and it doesn't offer anything special in terms of payment options. There is of course a cost to the seller via eBay, but maybe a higher price could be achieved which could compensate. However the price should in theory be limited by the fact that the book can still be bought new from Palawan.

I can't think of any easy way to auction the book via this site, other than Serena inviting blind bids (sent directly to Serena).
