I'm very tempted by the 1881 one I must admit!

Less exciting for most I know, but the Zagorovsky postcard caught my eye.

John, as the 1881 edition can be viewed on-line currently on Google Books, it seems hard to justify paying 450 euros for it, except as a collector's item. My very small working library doesn't allow such luxuries!

I aim to have every bound volume from 1881 to 2015 and am almost there.

From 2016 onwards I have had the official BCM book binder bind them privately despite BCM giving up on BVs. Another reason for my departure!

No second rate cordex for you then!

I have many of the same year also in Cordex binders to facilitate scanning plus a large number of the same volumes as loose copies. Slightly sad, I concede.

You going toe to toe with Nigel Short in the auction?

[John Upham]

I know Nige' is also attempting to complete his collection.

I'll let him go first: age before beauty and all that jazz!
