(mein kampf) 18 seperate booklets - ideas?

[Paul W.]

Ive never read it, never really wanted to, it was given the me by my father, it was sold weekly in the UK for 6d (whatever that was) it was published by Hutchinson & Co, i have all 18 copys, some cover have staining and number 1 has cover torn off at the spine, but is still intact. My question is , is it worth anything? if so what is the usual going rate, as i need sponsor my Narvik Shield purchase. anyone any idea when it was published/ how old it is? i cannot find a date anywhere.

It was published in weekly parts in the late 1930's. When you had collected them all you could send them away for binding.

The bound volume is quite collectable now say £50-£60 but loose copies can be had for as little as £1.50 Some of the illustrations do not appear in other books, but Mein Kampf itself is rather verbose and turgid. However the stuff on how to use propoganda is quite excellant

By the way Sixpence is 2.5p

Hope this helps
