Actually when I acquire all the books I want, I'll just post it on the
internet. No mess - no fuss!

Yes that book is quite common. I think there were about 8 pages of listings
on Addall for this book. So this would be that last book I would buy since
it is readily available.

The books I am currently buying are those for which there is only one copy
for sale anywhere on the internet of one of very few offered for sale. Like
"Dainty Billiards - Reece, Tom - 1925" or The Lions and the Lambs - Fensch,
Thomas - 1970.

You can pick up an ex-library copy of The Lions and the Lambs for $974.95
on Addall.com or one on Amazon for $1,023.75.

I don't know what it is about this book and its high value (not old 1970),
I guess supply and demand?
