JP GETS HIS HANDS ON A FIRST EDITION

John Peckham
I have a PDF copy of the First Edition along with all the subsequent editions and paper copies back only to the 9th Edition from 1927.


Yesterday I was at the IET and was able to hold in my hand the archive edition of the 1882 Journal the Society of Telegraph Engineer and Electricians. This is a wonderful leather bound book where the First Edition was published. It was not as far as I know published as a separate document.


What would I give to own a copy just to sit on the shelf to admire? I am still looking for a Yellow 15th Edition if anyone has one?


If you are an IET member, and I would recommend you join, you can go to the library and request to see the archive copy or other archived editions and they will retrieve it from the archive store. I might ask to see Michael Faraday's papers but suspect I would not be allowed to hold or touch them!

    Does this new found "feeling" mean you'll increase your last offer of £200 for mine John!

    I have no evidence that you have the desired publication or,if you have, whether you would want to sell it? I think us boys down South would say , "let the dog see the rabbit" and then we can negotiate.

    I can confirm it exists, but whether it will change hands is a different matter.


    What are you going to put on your shelf when everything is digital?

    What would you accept as evidence John?


    Everything has a price! The required deposit for a 992 Gen 3 Turbo S would sway me...........................
