Last time I saw that happen (to an even bigger extent) was when Michael Jackson died - the slightly before, and the slightly after prices had about a 5x difference.

It would appear that others are trying to cash in having seen the bids on the first book

I do have the full set (32 issues) of Wildlife Photographer of the Year in hardback. It took me ages to find the 3rd book in the set, and even then I had to pay over £200.
One is signed by David Attenborough - he can't live forever, can he?

Got the softcover version from a relative a couple of years ago. Didn’t think much of it at the time.

Anyone know if it ever went beyond a first edition? I don't suppose there was a massive demand for pinball books in the 70s and 80s

Still a great deal.more than the £35 I paid

I mentioned this to Josh and he said it was time for a SLE version of the book

Strangely - the ISBN no. seen in the book is 0-525-47481-1

BUT when searching for that number online it comes up as



The ISBN quoted online for the book is 0-525-517975-5


I always thought that the ISBN was unique?

If you want to avoid eBay to get a copy of the book, you can always go direct to Amazon.com, but I'd wait until the exchange rate improves a little!

Curious. ISBN's are indeed unique so that shouldn't have happened.
