This listing is from a zero feedback seller and the pictures are odd. I'm not convinced they all come from the same copy, though it is hard to tell with all the close-up pics. Tread with caution (also it is double the current going price).

I'm not sure if this was sighted by any one already:

This is the copy that sold for auction a couple of weeks back (for £1800 + fees), with the jacket added. So be aware, that this is essentially a £9000 jacket.

Good catch Stu, I forgot about that sale when looking at this listing. Buyer beware.
