Banksy Book โข WALL and PIECE, by trapnel1 on May 5, 2011 23:08:39 GMT 1, No way of knowing release date from the number line, apart from the first printing. The lowest number on the line tells you the printing. So, from top down in your pictures - 19th printing, 25th printing and (on the bottom) a true first printing.

Banksy Book โข WALL and PIECE, by trapnel1 on Mar 21, 2011 22:56:44 GMT 1, Bookshelves are full to overflowing, so looking to dispose of a few excess items. First up, a Wall and Piece first edition / first printing with full number line. Hardcover with pictorial boards, in near fine condition apart from a small ink inscription on the front endpaper. Lacks the dustwrapper, but still very uncommon (at least in the bookcollecting world!). Two copies online at present on Abebooks, one in dustwrapper for ยฃ1000 and one without for ยฃ395. Both overpriced, I think. I'm not really sure what this is worth, but I'm open to suggestions or offers. Pics on request.

VAT - Answers from the horses mouth, by trapnel1 on Mar 11, 2011 1:24:18 GMT 1, I have been through the process of appealing a charge (which was rejected) and then writing a second time (which was successful, and resulted in a refund). Please find below the wording which I used. A couple of phonecalls were required first to get the relevant information, and the XXXXXXXXs will need to be replaced by the relevant names/numbers. You will find the telephone numbers in the first post in this thread. Don't give up!
Dear xxxxxxx
Re ECxxxxxxxxxx Corres xxxxxxxxx
I am writing in response to your letter of 13 August to respectfully challenge your decision that the charges on my parcel were correct. In support of this I would be grateful if you could consider the following additional information:
1) I have spoken on the phone to xxxxxxxxx from the Tariff Classification Service who has confirmed that the appropriate Tariff code for my picture is 9702 0000.
2) I have spoken to the VAT Services Help Desk (xxxxxxxx; call number logged as xxxxxxxx) who has confirmed that the appropriate rate of VAT is 5%, not 17.5%. This is in line with VAT Info Sheet 09/99 available on the HMRC website (copy enclosed, and appropriate section underlined).
In light of this additional information I would be grateful if you could review your decision, recalculate the charge at the correct VAT rate of 5% and forward a refund. If you do not accept that an error has been made, I would be grateful if you could clearly specify why VAT at 17.5% applies in light of the above information.
If any additional clarification is required I would be happy to discuss on the phone.
Yours sincerely

Mac or PC?, by trapnel1 on Dec 7, 2010 0:11:19 GMT 1, People with Parkinson's disease (and other causes of tremor) generally find that a trackball mouse is easier to use and gives better control, so I think this would be well worth trying.

Faile Book โข Prints & Originals 1999-2009, by trapnel1 on Oct 9, 2010 17:09:23 GMT 1, The ยฃ8.01 is probably VAT at 5% (the rate for works of art). ยฃ28 will be VAT at 17.5%, which is the rate for most other goods (and sometimes prints with large runs!). Just depends on how the customs officer handling it classifies the package. There is an appeals procedure, but it requires a lot of patience.....

Faile Book โข Prints & Originals 1999-2009, by trapnel1 on Oct 9, 2010 15:51:47 GMT 1, If it was shipped from within EU to the UK, not sure what is going on. If it came from Faile in the US, and was not described as a book on the Customs' declaration, then a charge may have been applied in error. When my Love Sour Love came, it was properly described, and there were no charges.

Faile Book โข Prints & Originals 1999-2009, by trapnel1 on Oct 9, 2010 14:08:13 GMT 1, I buy a lot of books, and there is definitely no import duty or VAT. What was on the customs' declaration? You can appeal the charge - it takes a bit of effort but I have managed to extract a refund eventually in the past.
