Until this new version, older versions of GH were very much in demand and were priced $150-200, so if you are interested in the series I HIGHLY recommend buying this one now while its in print. Trust me, wait a couple of years and the price will be higher. I am pretty cheap when it comes to books, and could not locate a cheaper source than the one Doug listed.
