Uh Oh somebody mentioned "B"again.

Please resume bashing posts.



(PS Book averages 175-225)

$160.00 and up to over $200.00 depending on condition.

Many due to age have spine glue issues, so a tight spine and being near mint will command more.

A couple years ago it was posted free on the internet...

The keyword = WAS

The market was flooded with books when that happened... Bet a lot of collectors bought their books back

I've seen the falling-apart books fetch more than $150 on ebay.

Are you buying or selling? Most of the dealers seem to have a couple in stock...so maybe $125 to sell quickly. I've had a nearly new spare for a couple of years I've offered at $155 to dealer friends with no takers. The last few book auctions each have had one at $200 with no bidders.

I put one up on BST for $175 delivered today.

Yeah the binding and the spine is weak. If you drop the book wrong...its damaged. Quite heavy. I pulled my dust jacket off and using the ol high school trick with a brown paper bag made a new cover for it.

My copy is full of scribbles and notes and strikeouts....certainly not very "saleable" now.

Who knew this book was worth much? I've had one on a shelf for years. Still looks as new as the day I bought it.... not that I can remember doing so!

<EDIT> Just looked.. printed in 1988. Dust jacket near perfect!

I suspect RWB's copy of Breen is actually worth a lot more than a "normal" copy.

Funny! I'd better pull the book out and initial all the scribbles....?
