This book with hand written notes, could it be more interesting than it looks?

One page has this genealogy. And then there is a letter, not sure if it was stuck inside the book?

The notes and clippings add a bit of interest to the volume but would anybody in their right mind be prepared to pay £12,000?

Mark - I await your comments with interest!

I have noticed this book has been advertised on ebay off and on now for several months. I think it's increased in price every time it's been offered. It's also advertised on Abebooks @ £9,600 (postage extra £4.10)

Apart from appearing to be the first edition of one of Nelson's more notable biographers, I would not have thought it has any further merit to warrant this sort of valuation.

This book has now been discounted on ebay. Cheap as chips at £7,500.

This book is now being offered on ebay at £35,000! (postage is now free).

The description has been amended somewhat, highlighting the masonic content of the additional correspondence included in the sale.
