Bloomsbury Auction of Sylvia Plath Books - The Results

The two lots of Sylvia Plath books being auctioned today by Bloomsbury in England as part of the Bibliophile Sale, Lot 422 and Lot 423, comprised of eight and seven books respectively.

Lot 422 sold today for £550 (roughly $835).

Lot 423 sold today for £400 (roughly $607).

Here are two images of the books, sent to me by Bloomsbury. I hope it is ok to show them!

Alina! I wish! I did not bid on these books though I was tempted; sadly, my bank account looks like the inside of a zero. Still, I dream of the books.

Aw I see... :-( so sorry..I misunderstood.. I had to read again, you were sent the two pictures, not the books. Sorry didnt mean to hurt your feelings. Hopefully your bank account will be richer one day so you can have your biggest 'revenge" ;-)

wish you a nice weekend
