[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 1723967, member: 6763"]Good morning. First, yes, that is a very attractive 1st Edition 2nd printing. One that is probably graded as F. [Note: for purists, books are graded at a high of Fine, which approximates a coin's grade of XF-AU. The grade of VF for grading books was added for coin collectors, & is only used for numismatic books. In fact one major numismatic book seller announced a year or three ago that he would o longer use the VF grade. The VF was supposed to be = to AU or AU+.] That said, your is a particularly nice copy. I will presume that the comment about the third picture looking 'warped' on the spine shot is merely the angle of the picture and that it is not warped. Since the current recession has been under way the values for these books have dropped - in some cases severely. But, your book would still retail & sell quickly. Values? Wholesale (to me or a dealer): probably about $500 to $600. Retail: About $750 plus a bit. However, the retail market is still very soft.[/QUOTE]
