Hi Amanda, I've just taken another look at my copy of 'A History of Banking in Bristol' ((1899) by Charles Henry Cave and found that it is one of a limited edition of 300 copies. I think that when I purchased my copy, a few years ago, it cost £60. Now I see that copies of this privately printed book, which are currently available, cost between £210 and £225. Josephine
Hi Josephine, >From memory, there were a few copies available when we were looking for it and Victoria tells me they were 180, 350 and 115 pounds a piece, the 115 pounds translating to $NZ325! Nice to have the real thing though, a prized possession. My prized book is my Thomas Dudley Fosbrooke’s History of City of Gloucester! Getting late here in NZ and clocks go forward tonight for Spring!
