A – Z of Red Dwarf

[Retrocosm]

Hi all, thanks for letting me join. Back in 2003 I bought the A-Z of Red Dwarf production prop from the Prop Store of London. Reluctantly I’m thinking of selling it so was searching around looking for any references other than my own blog post and found old posts here about the original sale.

As you’ll no doubt be aware it’s the yellow A-Z most notably used in Me² as the hollowed-out book where Rimmer hides his diary.

Would it be ok to post pictures here?  I’m still undecided about selling it, so am looking to get some opinions from people who know Red Dwarf and its props and really want it to go to someone who will appreciate it.

Cheers in advance,

Charlie

Genuinely thought this was going to be a thread about Garry Bushell.

Haha thanks, god I love forums, especially ones that have lasted this long and remain active, I had to close one I ran for RC cars a couple of years back because everyone moved to Facebook.

I’ll take some fresh pics although I’ve just kept it in a plastic sleeve in the back of a cupboard for 20 plus years so it’s in the same condition as it was when I posted about it here:- https://retrocosm.net/2011/08/17/the-a-to-z-of-red-dwarf/

You can also post more than one image at a time, FYI.

Sorry I did try and it kept just posting one, I blame my age.

Yeah, it won’t let you multi-select and upload but you can add another after you’ve added one.

What everyone means is, cool images, thank you for sharing!

Ok right I’ve got it, doh!

So sad that after just squeaking through the rigorous G&T application process, you’ll have to be banned for multi-posting.

Seriously though, these are some great pictures.

The text on the back is latin, which roughly translates to:

The judgement indeed cannot move these things; the mind desires, but it has no blow to drive away the fault and the error; but he drives away the perception of pleasure, always turning this to the Epicurean. For nature, seeking those things is in motion and draws small things to itself and can steadily move the mind’s desire, but it has no blow to drive away the fault and the error, but he drives away the perception of pleasure, always turning this to the Epicurean.

Loving these photos. Thanks for sharing them!

This is fantastic. Welcome to the site!

How lovely that this still exists. Was genuinely excited to read that one of the authors of the pathology book worked at a hospital near where I grew up – then realised how tenuous a connection that is. 

Around 2005 I bought this sticker from the same place. I’ve always assumed it is fake since it only cost me about £10

Speaking of book props someone was selling this on ebay a few years ago. Always thought it was interesting to see what was actually in the book.

I’m so glad everyone liked the photographs, question now is, does anyone want to buy it?

The text on the back is latin, which roughly translates to:

Cool! It’s from Cicero’s De Finibus, the same book where ‘lorem ipsum’ filler text comes from.

£50

[Will B]

What are doing here? A bidding war? I think it would be a great thing to own, and I want someone to preserve it. I think it’s worth more than £50, but I have a feeling that this lovely community would be sullied by me out-bidding gerrydelasel

[gerrydelasel]

The OP seems to be inviting offers rather than giving us an asking price, so bid away!

[Flap Jack]

Gerry just has his own code.

£50 -> “No.”

300%! -> “I’ll think about it.”

(7 + 8) -> “Yes, please.”

#@JONKD -> “Excuse me, I’m foreign. Could you point me in the direction of the nearest Wagamama?”

[Dave]

Make sure you factor in the commission for G&T hosting this auction. 

[Will B]

I’m definitely interested but I doubt I could pay the amount the amount the OP probably has in mind. Ok let’s do some bidding I guess

£60! 

[Moonlight]

I’ll trade you Beat the Geek for it. I don’t want a DVD game in my house.

That’s Numberwang!
