Probably the easiest of the early booklets, though. There appear to have been a lot of survivors.

There was one at auction that I watched sell for £340. Thought about bidding but figured I’d wait a bit longer.

I paid £250 for an NF unread copy. Must be 4 years ago now, though.

I wouldn't say there have been a lot. I've catalogued only a few dozen.

Compare that to Leeds University Verse or A Northern Venture. No comparison.

Oh sure, more common (although not by much) than LUV or NV those we see once a year or so (just saw a LUV come up a couple weeks ago)

Even those seem common when you compare to something even more scarce like Reeve's Tale or Dublin Review 1945
