Towards the end of the indoor Car Boot Sale at Truro Cattle Market the stall holders were packing away and one of the sellers picked up a large ledger saying ‘I am surprised no-one has bought this’ I asked “How much” she asked for 50p and was happy with the sale saying ‘If you had not bought it I would have put it in the dustbin’. Lou researched the book and advised libraries and assumed interested parties the book would be sold on eBay for 99pence as a starting price and we were delighted after 7 days the book was sold for £35.52 plus postage of £4.50 All the regular dealers missed this book and I gladly saved it from the bin but will Lou give me the cash for it? Not a chance my lovers not a chance I have been conned again. Geoff ANTIQUE LEATHER BOUND LEDGER. 1843 – 50.
