It's been a toil - but there's light at the end of tunnel with this important catalogue (covering 2 sales).
Easy to 'diss' the Guinness stuff but I think many folks will kick themselves after when they realise the regional rarities slotted in here…. hey ho - there's soooooooooo much here - enuff to satiate the most jaded long time collector, the beginner, or the bargain hunter chasing bulk lots to resell.
Catalogue pre-ordering advised - before it goes to print - one catalogue covers both sales. |

Good new is the 2 part Guinness cataloging is complete at last, phew! Just the photographs to complete & catalogue to put together now.
To celebrate this milestone we couldn't resist the temptation to drink a spot of the 'black stuff' with lunch from the Brambles Tearoom, and the drink from the Market Hotel - all the showcards tell us it is "good for you!"

The catalogue, all 84 pages, has been ….. a bitch. Too big for standard printers to fold & stitch/ drop the paper thickness/ take pages out - no - aaaaaaaaaargh!!
Per page this looks like THE most expensive publication BBR has ever undertaken/ endured…. as bad as print per run digital units! Life is but a learning curve - certainly the best £10 buy for a long while?

Four sleeps to the Guinness sale part 1…. LIVE ONLINE - listen in & bid live (you have to register)…. the-saleroom.com
Meanwhile:
Guinness catalogue correction:
Images for lots 106 & 108 are wrong way round.
106 is the double lip Buchan example
108 is the Gray blob lip type |
