I will emphasize that I stated that I would not buy the book for $300 being asked for new copies buy I refused to buy the book you love for $150 so I'm not a good place to go for values. I am a fan of used books. I have one on order that cost 50 cents and $3.99 postage but, by the time I finish digesting it, I doubt it will be worth that much with all these turned pages. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do prefer to buy new copies of books when I want to support the author's coming financially into the black on the project. That would be for what I consider to be a good book. Mr Sutherland's book is out of print so he will be getting royalties. Since he died in 1986, that may be of less import. What makes a difference now is the condition of the book.
