Quote from: 'nealeffendi' pid='71096' dateline='1429693612'I sourced the silver book direct from the doctor. From what I can work out the books will have bigger updated editions (with minor typos etc corrected) in the near future. I think they sell out fast as there is a low mintage of perhaps only 100 copies and are intended for the hard core collector.

How does one contact the great doctor for a copy, so that one might also aspire to the ranks of hard core collectors?

Indeed. And old copies are often bid up to ridiculous prices.

It happens in the ancient arena too. I myself was looking for a few books but I only found a set of seven (I only needed one) go for 1200GBP. Fortunately some are at the State Library so it may be possible to borrow one or reference it there.

Brilliant, thanks for all the advice

I can help source Dr. Brigg's books (they're no longer available through Universal). I'll see if I can't get a couple of pages to illustrate the depth of these volumes. He sells them purely for collectors at cost price. PM me if you're interested.

I've been looking for an RBA sale catalogue .
If anyone has one to sell or knows of one please PM me.

Anyone with any luck getting hold of a copy of Downies' RBA sale catalogue? I have contacted them but no joy there.

I wouldn't mind getting access to one to just photocopy it.

Splock are you still able to source Dr. Brigg's books?

I have been contacting Downies for a copy, as suggested by Walter. Not sure they have any yet. But they were able to send me a spreadsheet of the auction results.

Hey echidna, are you still looking for a copy of the RBA catalogue.

I finally managed to get hold of one thanks to Shaun Silcock from Downies. :yahoo: I am going to scan it into PDF at some stage. Let me know if you still want one.
