Thomas Tompion - 300 Years - A celebration of the life and work of Thomas Tompion. By Jeremy Evans, Jonathan Carter and Ben Wright. 2013 publication; this book wanted in excellent condition. 750 copies were printed, so someone should have an extra or know someone who does!

2. questions:

Was 750 the correct publication number, and did the total of 750 include the specially bound copies?

What was the original publication price in 2013?

Thanks (I am still hunting for a copy!)

Better to say something and be wrong than stay silent and let it get away.

You are good and thanks, but 499 US dollars US is rather much, wouldn't you say?

All depends how rare the book is and how much you want it.

These things I do not know.

You can always make an offer.

Might get lucky.

Thanks, but I already checked with Carter (as per Jeremy Evans) and the book is sold out.
