@@niagra898 some married women don't always wear their wedding rings all the time. There are some occupations where it's not feasible. She is still married. Happily.
I don't know why but i get joy from seeing her overly inflated expectations crushed. (Ofcourse the show is fixed and a work) but hypothetically, one would imagine thats too high an asking price
who cares? It´s a book for children for some bucks. They print millions of this books for children. Only the real first edition will cost 2-3 mio. but there are just 22 left because of bad printing. They have recalled every copy, and reprinted the entire book. From the next "first edition" they print 2000 books who was for sale. Today you will get ca. 20.000 for a good copy.
This is one of the problems I have with the “first edition/signed books market”. It’s great for genuine fans of the book and author, but it can easily become a business for people who don’t care about the book. Only if it’s the first print or signed by a famous author. Books should be judged by their content, not their rarity.
everybody in the world knows Alice in Wonderland that means the book must have a great content. With a bad content nobody will buy it. The rarer a piece is, the more expensive it becomes then.
I understand your point....they price higher just because of a few happenings. Like there will always have to be a first book and also a last book too....why wouldn't a very last printed copy ever cost a bit higher too!
@@codedestroy680 oh I've certainly seen that happen before and it makes sense, but I just hadn't yet noticed the show making it seem like the seller and expert were standing next to each other when they weren't.
there are real first editions who look much newer than this one. But you can see it easily at the binding. Old books are sew by machines and hand work together, books from +1930 were press with glue together only by machines.
I happen to know there is less than 25 real first editions of this book around, of which 5 are property of institutions. Christies hammered one down for 2-3mil. Even if this one would be a genuine first edition, I doubt it would be worth anything at all with the colouring vandalism :( What surprises me is that the specialist didn't mention the first edition does not have the gilded Alice on front, but the Cheshire cat rather - at least that's what the one that sold at Christies had.
just read the first edition was originally cancelled by the illustrator so only 50 copies were released and then 2000 new books came out as technically second edition / remake
I had a The Marvelous Land of Oz that was really old and only had 1 publication date so I bought it but it was some later special edition that they put the 1st edition illustration over. It had the same issue, kids colored it with pencil.
Most people would have no clue what this means but the fact of the matter is the stuff in the rabbit hole fixing to come out and punish the ones and that honor it
