I was half watching one of those antique auction programmes yesterday - two experts spend a thousand pounds and see which of them makes the most profit. Wasn't paying too much attention until the guy bought volumes one and two of a Liverpool history by someone called Herdman.



Wonder if this is the same guy?

He sold the books on for £500 to someone he knew who was a scouser with and interest in the city's history.
