Zamm Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 QUOTE Unless it is a library version that has had the back serial numbers ripped out by some collector on an austerity program. Unless that library is the Library Of Congress, or the New York Public Library, I am not sure what local libraries even have this book on their shelves? Arthur, try " inter-library loan", there are about 35 of these books in libraies across the country. Your local will get it on loan for you. QUOTE elsewhere, but show me where there is a $50 version, that still has its cover Your talking about the book as an object here. That's fine, I understand that, and to collectors, the market will reflect the price. Same with my first edition Dracula, I look at it more then just a book but an actual object. But I'm looking at the Cox book as pure research info. This should be available at a different market, just like published scientific papers, which I also use.

John Jr Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 If you want my copy Arthur, you can have it for $600. Ill even autograph it so you can prove I owned it. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper28 Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Wonder why he doesn't have his publishers reissue the book? Sounds like easy money to me. Maybe prison soured him on the subject altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Cox would need to add additional info in order for the reissue to make sense, and dollars. With the advent of Hill's book, there is not much call for a 2nd addition Cox book, since there are still copies available to collectors provided they don't wince at the price. John Jr, When the Cox book came out (you were 7?), your mom might have read it to you as a bedtime story. Apparently it gave you nightmares. You now go through life haunted by an image of a Colt TSMG. The only cure is to sleep with the book under your pillow. So you better keep your copy.

John Jr Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Its an interesting book, but Arthur is right, Hills book is better. Its a collector book now. Price is still $600 for Arthur, and $350 for everyone else. Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 The seller "nodumbblonde99" revised the starting bid to $250 on 1/20. It still has an unknown reserve. Maybe people on ebay actually do read this website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
