Woody Guthrie signed and annotated book

Woody Guthrie's influence on American music cannot be ever fully comprehended. You could argue he was the beginnings of Western Pop music. That's what makes this auction so incredible... and expensive.

"Offered here is a remarkable body of work, compiled by Guthrie over a period of many years, at least from 1947 to 1955 (the years of his handwritten entries), which provides incredible insight into his creative process. This volume was obviously an integral tool in Woody Guthrie's songwriting process. In addition to being unique and containing hundreds of handwritten notes and signatures by Guthrie, this work might be the single most historically significant Guthrie document in existence."

If you want to find out more, there's loads of info and photos on the auction itself or, if you have just shy of $150,000 to spare, click here. A staggering auction.

The Mirabelle Cookbook, signed by Marco Pierre White

This is a signed '99 First Edition of 'The Mirabelle Cookbook by Marco Pierre White'. Of course, Marco is currently whipping up a storm on British Television in the crazy Hell's Kitchen. 

This item was bought as a gift when the seller visited his restaurant in 2000. The book itself is in excellent condition and contains only a minor mark on the cover. Better yet though, it is signed by the man himself!

First ever Spiderman comic up for grabs!

Okay. This isn't actually an eBay auction... but it's an auction you can bid on nonetheless... and for a very worthy cause too.

What we have here is a copy of the first ever Spiderman comic... very rare indeed. This original 1962 Amazing Fantasy #15 was kindly donated to Comic Relief by Jonathan Ross during the filming of Comic Relief does the Apprentice for Red Nose Day 2009.

The comic is graded at Very Good to Very Good Plus. Cover-wise, there are no pencil marks or stamps visible and the front and back covers look tight, flat and retain some gloss. There is some “marbling” or “chipping” to the right side of the front cover and a small lower spine split. For more info, or to make a bid, click here.
