Unbelievable prices but I believe they are asking prices rather than "going
for" prices. According to Amazon, collectible includes signed copies,
out-of-prtnt copies, and like new copies (I think).
I have one that is absolutely in new condition and as Steve says is out of
print. Mine has zero marks, smudges, tears, etc. which shows how much I
have used it! At age 83 I am not likely to use it in the future so I will
do a favor (hi) to towertalkees and offer it for sale discounted a bit from
the collectible price. As it has been on my bookshelf for many years, I am
in no hurry to sell it so lets
see how much it is really worth. Bidding starts at $25. I reserve the
right not to accept any offers but I would rather that it be used
by a towertalkian than sit on my shelf.
