I saw a copy go for just $99 a week or two ago, but I didn't have the money to get it. :eusa_doh:

That's an excellent price. I paid, um, a lot more for mine.

 

[Sefton]

The markets really going to drop for this if/when it gets reprinted -hopefully minus the 70's section.On second thought,leave it in for contrast and laughs...

I see what you mean. Abebooks.com has several, with the least expensive over
$600 US - and that volume is is fair to good condition. Fine/Fine+ are much
higher.

 

[Orgetorix]

I wonder if the prices on these are coming down, for some reason. $99 is definitely the lowest I've seen, but I've seen others go for $200-300.

what happened to the no-links-to-live-auctions rule ?

what happened to the no-links-to-live-auctions rule ?

It's his book; it's his link; it's in classifieds; so what's the issue?

 

[herringbonekid]

It's his book; it's his link; it's in classifieds; so what's the issue?

no issue.

i was just wondering if that rule stills applies.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

there was always an exception for posting your own auctions in the classifieds.

I could have sworn there was an active recent thread about this book, but I can't find it.

Anyway, I just purchased a copy, and I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival.

 

[Feraud]

This one?

Congrats. You will love the book.

That's the one -- now why didn't that turn up in a search? I searched on "esquire," "esquire's," and "encyclopedia." So frustrating.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yep, it's a very good reference book. I photocopied a copy from my university library when i was in Indiana.

More people should read it. Maybe they'd learn what Oxford bags are, and more importantly: what they are not.

Go to "Advanced Search" and do a "titles only" search. That's the only way I've managed to get the search function to be of any use at all …

Go to "Advanced Search" and do a "titles only" search.

That's just what I did, believe it or not.

Oh well.

 

[normanpitkin]

I ,ahem,"liberated" my copy from Clacton on sea College Library in 1977,certain sections of the book are well thumbed !I often wonder if I should sell it but i suppose the shipping costs would be huge!

That's just what I did, believe it or not.

Oh well.

I find the best way is to Google, thus:
