HellO Andrew. Thanks for that info. Just looked on the "abebooks" site they have 16 first editions on offer ranging in price from £66 - £463. Modern reprints seem on the high side with a 2007 edition at £52 and a 2009 edition at £40. Ken

Andrew,Further to the subject of Mr Astor,some time ago I was in Plymouth England,and was looking to book into a Hotel as I was staying for two nights,and walked along a road near Plmouth Hoe where Sir Francis Drake played bowls before defeating the Spanish Armada,anyway I saw a Hotel called the Astor Hotel,booked in and found that this was the formerley the town house of the Astors,I beleive it is still there as a hotel.
