    I collect the coins, but just became aware that there is this special rare book that is extremely hard to find. I kind of stumbled upon this one in mint condition and signed by the author. If you're a collector and you want the ultimate prize this might be what you're looking for. Send a message to the seller and he'll tell you all about the book and how he happened to meet the author and snagged one of only 250 books in existence. I'm sure he might work with you on the price too.

    PS ... No, I'm not the seller and not advertising the book for this guy. Just making collectors aware that this book is out there in what looks like pristine condition and it is extremely hard to find anywhere. Google the book and find out for yourself.

    It's a rare book, but I think he is dreaming on the price. There has been a copy on the market for some time now at $500 with no takers.

    yup, the book has been on eBay for a while, no takers.

    But, I agree, it is an interesting book.

    PS: I collect books, and don't have this one, among the hundreds that I do have

    I agree that he most likely won't be able to fetch $700 for the book. I think one did sell on Abe's books for $500 and they don't have any available now. I suspect he would negotiate a lower price with a serious buyer. The book is apparently like new condition and it is autographed to the seller by the author. I'm personally not interested in the book, but I did a little research and there are people who would really like to get their hands on a 'like new' copy of this out of print book.
