Title: Autograph Sketchbook

Scroll down to see the pictures. I started bidding on this and gave up. I really thought it was something special. I wanted everyone to see it to see what they thought.

Wow! Neat! Apparently you weren't the only one who realized it was something special! Sorry you didn't get it!

Are you in the US,  Greenacres ? These are fairly common in the UK. £400 is an excellent price for that.

Its interesting but I would have sure checked the artists before bidding !!  Just because they are listed does not mean they sell well or are worth anything !!

It's the pleasure of the art work that I love. I haven't purchased anything yet, so I have no worries. It has to hit me in a certain way. Then I would check. I happened to really love the artwork on this one. It caught my eye. I thought it was done well. If I love it it's worth it.

I agree GreenAcres...that was a really special set of pics/notes!  Sorry you didn't get it.

That military one is REALLY interesting!

I cannot allow myself to look into these....already collect several things and would get in "a heck of alot of trouble" if I started in a new area....

I haven't heard of any of the artists, but the work is very nice and it's an overall cool item!

I love these autograph sketchbooks. To me they tell a story of the time period with pictures.
