    Nice, one of the low dollar items is something I've been after for a couple of years.
    Fingers crossed that I get it.

    Congrats to whoever got that different Seasons for 5 bucks, I've been looking for a decent replacement copy for a while.

    Surprised no one has bought the lettered (C) "The House Next Door" for $450. Only 26, bound in calf leather with hand painted morocco paper boards, enclosed in a cloth box.

    "hand painted morocco paper boards"?

    I have one but the full leather binding is brown. Did someone put paint on theirs? Can boards be both morocco and paper?

    Also isn't morocco leather from goats? Description also says calf leather. I wonder which it is?

    You have one in hand. Why don't you clarify the facts rather than ask questions you apparently already know the answers to?

    I already said that my boards are brown leather. I looked at the limitation page but it says nothing about the type of leather. You are the one who added to the more limited description on the Betts site. Why don't you clarify?

    Per wikipedia "The finest grades of Morocco leather are goat skin, but by the late 19th century other skins often were substituted in practice, particularly sheep skin and split calf skins."

    My description came for Mr. Rabbit Trick who owns a copy and provided pictures and the description. He, like you is usually a reliable source for information, but even the great ones can be wrong.
    Any help you provide for clarity is greatly appreciated as I can modify the Catalog entry to provide the most accurate description possible.
    Any clarifications about the Betts one for sale should be directed to David.

    Fair enough. But the description you posted did not come from the Betts site. I had no idea where you were getting the description you posted. The one on Betts site needs no clarification.

    Is there a chance you can check your copy and truly ascertain if the book is bound in real leather, and if so, what animal skin it is?
    I won't sleep well until I know.

    No. I suppose I could do some small scrapings of the leather and send them for DNA analysis but the results won't be back soon enough to ensure a good night's sleep for you. Sorry.

    You are welcome to come smell it but you will probably need to hurry. Not sure when RF goes to bed.

    cover looks brown to me on this copy. brown/red marbled boards...cannot say if hand painted....sure looks like a print....no mention of the type of leather...limitation page only says 450 copies of this specially bound edition have been signed and numbered by....then Siddons signature, and King sig underneath that says Number C. this book has a clear plastic dj on it housed in a rust colored slipcase

    I'm not erudite, thus I am confused as to the genetic difference between a sheep and a goat, let alone the difference between a goat and a cow/calf.
    This helped me understand sheep/goat genetic differences.

    This is a bit easier to understand.

    This is fascinating

    This was the easiest for me (in my limited capacity) to grasp:
