They even that weird image from Amazon with the white books. I mean seriously, who on earth buys from these people?

"No faults"

Apart from all the obvious small faults.

Most ridiculous prices on EBay I let slide, but this one I just couldn't look the other way.

This is total nonsense. £1200 for a 1959 !!!!

Also states "no faults" again, even though I can see closed tears on the jacket. A seller to avoid.

And yes, the price is absurd.

Price indeed way off.

However the seller (Andy, ADC Books) is a good seller in general IMHO.
Had many previous purchases from him in the past.

I didn't realise that was ADC. In some ways that makes it worse - he really should know better on both the price and the listing practices, given he has been in the business forever.

I know this isn't strictly book related but...

Noticed this auction happening on i-bidder: https://www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction ... e3-42ef-8109-aed000a69be5

And suddenly the exact image appeared on Ebay and the auction hadn't finished!
