[TowerTalk] Tower library

[Al Williams]

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.
