I was informed I could order a modest book on EBAY for finding another rarity for a friend.
O.K. I've wanted Michael's opus and logged on. A vendor in Australia wants close to $40 and has 10 new copies. O.K. no 'carrying coals to Newcastle.'
There were 3 listings for used copies. One, declaring it a rare first edition in 'fair,readable condition with blood stains'- - probably trumper's rose creme , wanted $50 buy it now.
We just had a fascinating exchange. The seller informed me the author is 'passed on' and copies are being snapped up at twice her asking price!
I sent a link with our forum exchange and explained I could still get a copy less dear and even signed someday!
The listing was just deleted.

I was one of the fortunate ones to get a signed copy from Jim @ Vintage Blades. Amusing how some try to make a buck.

Great book...BTW.

KAV, You're already a member here which is the source for all the information in that book. If it's become too dear in price you could always just peruse the archives for free!

I sometimes see amazing prices asked for older editions of the book. I don't get it, frankly: the newer the edition, the more information the book contains. And it's a utilitarian book, not something to treasure for the grandkids.

A modest demurral from Chris's statement: not all information in the book is from SMF. I contributed some from my own experience, for example.

Damn, and I thought my signed copy just went up in value!







Just kidding Mr. Ham, stick around and keep sharing!

Just a possible tip" Try abesbooks.com or alibris.com to find a cheap used book. They have links to used book sellers all around the country. Also, I think I have used a site called booksamillion.com
