Hi Richard,
Hey I know this guy with a few published beautifully reproduced B&W photo 
books you might be interested in. ;-)

One of them, a leather bound 14.5" X 14.5" coffee table book when first 
published, only 250 copies signed and numbered cost $250.00 per copy. 
TODAY? Who knows what they're worth in this special edition? Although I did 
hear recently a gallery has one copy for sale at $500.00! :-)

But seeing I have copy numbered 65/250 I think I'll pass on it.

The reproductions are amazing. :-)

Just thought you might like to know and would like to add one to your 
collection. ;-)

cheers,
ted
