Pictorial History of Swildon's Hole - Covers

[ZombieCake]

I've noticed among those for sale on line that some of these 1975 books appear to have have a blue cover with gold lettering on and some have a brown cover with no gold lettering on. Does anyone know if there is there a difference in content, binding, cover material, any limited edition numbers, etc. or is it just the quality of the photos on line? Grateful for any illumination.

The blue copies are leather bound and were more expensive at the time.

The blue/gold were a limited edition of 300

.. which suggests the LE brown copies were not leather bound?

The brown covers are rexine.

Do not expose to naked flame!

Hi, many thanks for the info. Managed to get a blue one, although given the above comments I guess a brown one could be a useful source of back up illumination!

What did you pay?

I've been in contact with Martinr about cost. Wasn't cheap, but not outrageously expensive either.
