It's a pity
Squatter wasn't there,
Lal--or at least not that he's told us
--as this sounds exactly up his alley. I do recall him spending a fair bundle on a LotR first edition, which he generously showed some us one memorable afternoon in the Bird and Baby.
You didn't happen to remember the going rate, did you? Not that I would buy it for
Squatter. A bidding war, though ....
