Anyone put a price on this?

I was giving a book to me by my uncle a few years ago. Its called 'a collected works of Philip Lynott'. Its 30 years old and 1 of the first 200 limited edition copys as it was the hard back. Its also worth saying that its got Phils autograph in it:pac:
Back in 1991 it fetched £242 in Christies in London, anyone know what I could be looking at now? Times are hard. Could a mod move this somewhere more appropriate if there is such a place.
Cheers!

Try putting some feelers out on some Thin Lizzy /Phil Lynott web sites / message boards.

£242 is all id give you as its lost all its interest in the recession.

Have you tried a direct approach to Christies or their major rivals?
A phone call to them and they might recommend someone closer to home that will give a more honest assessment -that or they might even give you an actual quote!

If this is the book, keep an eye on this and see how it does: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Collected-works-of-Philip-Lynott-Thin-Lizzy-Poetry_W0QQitemZ200294786413QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Books_Fiction_GL?hash=item200294786413&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

The price won't even begin to rise till the last hours/minutes of the sale.

A Phil Lynott/Thin Lizzy collectible we've never seen nor heard of before--a copy of the 104 page self-published first edition book "A Collected Works of Philip Lynott." This 1979 hardback first edition was printed in an edition of 200, and this copy was inscribed and signed by Lynott, who gave it to a friend. We obtained this directly from the original recipient, and of course, guarantee this to be authentic with no time limit (as we do everything we sell.) The book is in mint condition, and ultra rare. If you've read this far, you probably know how rare original first printing copies of this book are, and finding a signed one in beautiful condition is a rare thing indeed. This may be your only chance !

I'll give you €5.
