i was tracking this directory i feel sorry for the winner
he paid £150
this is only a 160 page street name soft back
the average full gores has over a thousand pages
so be carefull if you bid on this short edition
they are hard to find

Thanks for that good advice Bob. At auction, the average hammer price for a full Gores is about £70 WHEN they do come up. Even adding on auctioneer's fees you're still looking at less than £100 so you're right to feel sorry for the buyer!

"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after.
Bee i always look for any directories and as you have mentioned
the price can be as much as £100
i got a 1920s one last year but that was only the official section
it was offered as a full street directory but it after complaining to the book store i bought it from on ebay
they refunded my money and as a gesture they gave me the volume
so always check how many pages
gores are such a help for everybody
