I have a 200 year old collection of books that have been handed down over a few generations. No, I'm not selling.
Until you've opened a first edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and seen the inscription written by your great, great, great, grandfather, you won't understand.

That photo is the one from AbeBooks but our copy is similar. We wouldn't sell either because my husband loves it, he'd been lowkey looking for it for years.
This is the book I really want to find.
We had it but it went missing in our last move, it's out of print and second hand copies are stupid money.
You stupid fuckers, you know who you are.

Darn! It looks to be on excellent condition. If it were mine I probably wouldn't part with it
Oh wait…that's probably not a photo of your actual copy duh

I looked it up when we found it and it was worth about £600 but it's not worth that now, I just checked!
You stupid fuckers, you know who you are.

Have you looked up its worth?

We have a signed first edition of this book, got it for £3 in a charity shop.
You stupid fuckers, you know who you are.

No, that wouldn’t even qualify as vintage… check the freezer

I found a package of mashed potatoes in my fridge that expired in 2022. Does that count?

That ozzy mirror is epic. Can I have it.

Yes huge. I need to get rid of some.
I've loved books since I was a small child. I've been in my house 35 years, and I've accumulated a lot of things.
I hate to throw things out. I've still got an Ozzy mirror that I won at at fair when I was 15.

Looks good , mate. Do you have a big book collection.

lol
Here's the book.
I was off on the date. It's 1919 as you can see.

Will you lend me a tenner if your flush.

I don't need the money, but if I did I would definitely sell.

Even if it were worth $20,000.
Chopper: I'm just a bloody normal bloke. A normal bloke who likes a bit of torture

No, but I'm not really interested in selling it.

Might be worth something. Have you googled it.
Chopper: I'm just a bloody normal bloke. A normal bloke who likes a bit of torture

Not really, but all the pages are intact. I got it at a book fair back when I was 12.

Sure. Is it in good condition.

I have a children's book from 1908. Does that count?
