American Coin Treasures & Hoards by QDB: who has this FS?

this might be more appropriate on the BST but here goes:

my wife asks me today if there is a book i want for Christmas and i mention this one since it had been on my short list of desired reading........a cursory search uncovers that used copies are selling on Amazon for $95 and up

there is a signed copy on Ebay for $189 (or best offer)

can anyone point me in the direction of a cheaper copy? i would settle for paperback (assuming it came as such)

i know the issue price was $59.99 and while i realize that probably wont happen, i would like to find it for a little more south of $100 than Amazon's $95

thanks for any help you can provide

    It's a tough book to find and if you find it cheap, you got lucky.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I had no idea they were so expensive now...I ordered an advance copy at the time of issue, and have re-read a number of sections of it many times. It is very interesting and enjoyable reading, and I hope you get your wish and fine a reasonably priced one in time for Christmas.

    The cheapest I found it on BookFinder.com is the $95 book on Amazon.

    Fwiw, I just did a quick search and could not find it available at Wizard.

    There is one currently on Ebay, but it is signed and rather expensive. Oops, should have read your post better. sorry
