    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Oh, just realised, Paul, you meant market value of a copy...

    Maybe £120?

    There was word of a second edition coming out?
    As soon as and if that one hits the shelves much less than it is now.

    They come up on evilbay very rarely for around £120.

    Worth every penny!

    I know of a copy that changed hands for £250 a couple of years ago.

    Kind regards,

    John

    I’m surprised but not very surprised

    If spring air pistols are your thing and you haven’t got a copy, you really need a copy. And if you’ve got a copy unless you have two copies you probably won’t be selling, unless you die and your wife sells everything off (£10 as part of a job lot on EE bay then)

    That said I’m glad I got mine new and not for £120-250!!
    Morally flawed
