Completely "forgot" to mention that.
I asked for additonal info and got the following from Mark Jones, General Cataloger & Valuer @ Rosebery's
Lot 1011 (Farmer Giles of Ham) - Dust jacket slightly frayed, slight discolouration, overall typical wear. With photographs stuck in, some pages and photographs slightly damaged. Signed but provenance unavailable.

So do you think the signatures are original? I haven't got a clue.

Both of these went for £3200 each ! - won by a phone bidder

I was the internet bidder... but plus the auction costs this was too heavy for me! But pushed the price way over my initial limit.
Hey Beren, you weren't the only internet bidder. I know I had to get up earlier than you to bid on them!! Probably dropped out of bidding earlier as well. Someone really really wanted them!!
