If someone is willing to pay $300 for this book then it is worth $300. If they are willing to pay $79.50 then it is worth $79.50. This copy was worth $79.50 in 2010 which is how much someone paid for it when it sold.<br />All the best and thanks for the comment<br />Robinrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296778162828375857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142522252305904377.post-60133181509251334052014-01-27T11:06:49.572-08:002014-01-27T11:06:49.572-08:00Do you still have this book available to buy?

Just because something is rare it doesn't mean there are thousands, or even one person, lining up to buy it. I would be willing to pay $79.50 if the book is still available. I live in Victoria.

I think thats what the cover illustration is trying to demonstrate.<br />Robinrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296778162828375857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142522252305904377.post-35496144967199984272010-09-22T04:01:24.506-07:002010-09-22T04:01:24.506-07:00What a frightening front cover!

Still, if it is a rare book then the price seems good for the illustrations alone!Frankhttp://www.sierraexpressmedia.com/archives/5897noreply@blogger.com
