I already have a copy of this book, but this is the first example that I have seen on eBay for some time.
It is a comprehensive history of Edison's operations in Britain, and should be on every British Edison collector's bookshelf.

Re: Rare British Edison history on UK eBay
There was a softback copy on UK ebay some months ago , maybe the one that epigramophone last saw , which there was fierce bidding for and I think it sold for GBP 40. This present one for sale according to the seller's description is a hardback copy. I believe the first edition was hardback and a second printing run was done in softcover. The CLPGS bookshop have sold out their stocks , so this is now a rare book to find. Fortunately I too have a copy in my library. I see the seller has many other gramophone and phonograph related books he/ she is selling. Regards from England Dulcetto
