So-Called Dollar Book Score

First I went crazy and still missed THIS

Then I got lucky and just won THIS ONE.

Granted the cover is all torn up; but I plan on using it so I can live with it. image

    From the appearance of the quality of the dust jacket on the first one you missed, the price was to a bibliophile who wanted a very clean edition. As far as functionality, the book you bought was in a more reasonable price range, given the current demand for knowledge about the topic.
    I had to remove the dust jacket from my copy as it was tattered. Tried to locate a mint replacement, but they are almost non-extant.

    Good purchase, Richard! I think you're happy someone outbid you on the first one! image

  • If you are wanting for functionality, you might want to check around but I have heard they are going to reprint this book. If you find it to be true, list this bad boy back on ebay quick.

    I believe I've been told things that haven't come true and I've been told things would not happen and then they did, so enjoy your book.

    I do believe the new one is coming out sometime in the not too distant future. I'll probably get me one of those as well.

    Here's a neat piece that closed last night I was watching.......... LINK

    If they come out with a new edition, I bet it will sell over a dozen copies!

    Wow - the price of the HK book has risen substantially! I bought my copy a couple of years ago for about $40.

    I guess the SCD's are way more popular now!
