It's very good, I second that. A good read going through all that old stuff, gives you a really nostalgic feel.

You might as well just leave a fiver on one of them (both might be dangerous) and hope for the best.
They pop up all the time...

I gave up on it when it got to 15 quid.
Spent a fortune on Ebay this week already anyway
Probably for the best I didn't bid for it...

I too have a copy of this "scrapbook" - very interesting, lots of good early pics and a well thought out design.
Well worth £10 - but anything overthat would be a bad idea!
BTW - This book is cheaply photocopied and not a Professional issue. Does anyone know any cheap and helpful printers who would be willing to make up new copies?

Yeah, I reckon if you hold out you can get it for bertween 5 and 10.
I'd pay more cos I think it's mint, but that's what most seem to gon for.

Yeah, I paid about £10. It is tat, really, but very diverting tat. The interviews etc are well worth reading, but the physical artefact is very lo-fi. I agree with Andy - if anyone had the will, they could put out their own copies of this, and distribute them cheaply. Like, as a public service. Then everyone could read it.

How does the scrapbook compare to the Romance and Assassination fan zines? Do they have similar content?

There are two of 'em. I got 'em recently in a trade, about 150 pages each of photocopied articles ranging from about 1982 - 1989.

Probably exactly the same.
In my opinion though the scrapbook is reasonably professional - thick cover (in reptile house stylee) and good quality paper and printing. Even got some naff stained glass style illustrations thrown in for good measure.
