Just checking interest really:

Would a truly mint hardback copy of 'High Performance Loudspeakers' by Martin Colloms - 6th Edition be of any interest to people?
It's a pretty hefty & pricey book.

Certainly wouldn't pay £65 for it.

I was able to compare this edition with the 5th. There are sections in the 6th edition where Colloms seems to have gone 'New Age' and spout an enormous amount of claptrap; seriously diminishing my previous high regard of his expertise. A big disappointment.
