Book, without the cover on it, looks like new. No damaged or wrinkled pages, no writing or defacement on pages - looks like it's either never been read, or it set on the shelf for vanity's sake!

You might want to check Amazon and compare what this is selling for over there. Not slamming your ad but its always a good idea to see what others are asking when setting you price.

Thanks for your post Kevin58;
Yeah, I've seen other offers to sell, some from $12.99 to $69.99. I figured on half way! If no one was interested, so be it. I figured if someone was interested and didn't like my price, they'd at least make an offer. Thanks for steering any potential buyers to Amazon, that will sure help me sell this book :sarc: - a PM would not have so blatant!

Well you can buy used in "Good" condition on Amazon for $3 and new for $35 .........

Since others seem to think it is their duty to comment negatively on the price of my item, I would take down this thread if I knew how to.

BTW, I rarely use Amazon or Ebay, so your comments are useless to me - I put the price that I wanted for the item, NOT what a seller on another site might value his/her item at.

I guess that some persons feel superior by having to go around price-shaming others for the value of their items. This item is no longer for sale, it'll just sit on my library shelf so that I shall make both Karens happy!

I don’t think anyone is feeling superior about letting you know that it can be bought cheaper somewhere else, I had a double take on your price and if that’s the price you want then that’s what you want I’m not going to offer you less I’ll just look somewhere else. I think the other posters were just trying to help you, if you can’t see it that’s fine. It’s fine if you don’t use amazon or eBay but don’t think the rest of the world doesn’t so just keep that in mind next time your trying to get rid of something.

Agreed. The market is dirt poor, and all it takes is a quick look around.

Shame, great book. I won a trip to England with my wife while working Goose Island, dinner with him for multi-course beer dinner, White Horse, Parson's Green, London. My wife's uncle is mentioned in his book. Pretty cool.
