Priceless Antiques - aired on BBC2 18th February 2010 |
|
| Priceless Antiques, sister show to BBC's Antiques Roadshow, is presented by Fiona Bruce and shows classic moments from Antiques Roadshow, as well as additional material not shown in the original broadcasts. |
 |
Book expert Clive Farahar visited Hay on Wye and spent some time at Rose's Books. |
 |
| Clive Farahar explains that childrens books frequently suffer damage and lose their dustwrappers - and for this reason collectors are willing to pay high prices for books that retain their original wrappers and are in fine condition. |  |
| An example is our copy of the privately printed first edition of The Tailor of Gloucester, limited to 500 copies. Although it does not have a wrapper, it is extremely scarce and is signed by Beatrix Potter. |  |
| It is inscribed "To Cicely Roscoe from Beatrix Potter Jan 16th 03", and is on sale priced at £10,000. |  |
