We discuss two objects from my collection. A book and... something else. Both of them have something in common: after I got them, I searched the internet and found them being sold on auctions in the previous years. And, yes, I'm 99% sure these are the same objects I have now.

Why am I so sure? What was their story? Should one use online price on old books as a benchmark? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode of the Bookish Talk!
