I'll be bidding Marv, thanks for being reasonable.

Should be an interesting economic experiment, let's see how hard times really are. :dunno:

[fireman 1,021]

WOW!!! $75.00 already and it's only been listed for 2 hours. So much for the bad economy! Marv if yours is doing so good, I may list my original copy of the book and see what happens.

FIREMAN...

Did you see the First Edition Used copy that sold for $200 on e-bay, December 11, 2011?

Item # 120823904431.!!!!

There is a used one on AMAZON right now...take a look !!!!! $999.99!!!!

Might as well call it ONE GRAND!

[rmaynard 14,906]

I think that $999.99 is a little bit on the overly optimistic side.

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,559]

I think that $999.99 is a little bit on the overly optimistic side.

Not to mention they were not a quality product to start with. My 1st edition has a few pages which have separated from the book . I dont look at it much but if I used it as a frequent reference book it would be practically shredded by now .

I'm waiting for the e-books to come out. They'll be scanned eventually by someone. With all the millions of e-readers being sold I didn't think anyone read physical books anymore.

The author should create an e-book before someone else does it for him and he misses the boat. It's just a matter of "when" in my opinion. I think prices will drop a lot when that happens. You snooze you lose.

[Road-Track 39]

I will wait for the e-book on this one. I looked and no-go yet :computer:

[grnlark 479]

I'll just read my brothers copy and then take it to a copy center if I want my own copy. $29.99 front and back - any book under 500 pages.

[VinsRJ 721]

I think I paid $30.00 for mine.... and that was from Mike directly.

What's the difference between a first edition in a second edition?

[marvairplanes 34]

The most significent difference is in the binding.

Second edition was "made in China"...Go figure...
