Since it's New American Library, I suspect that it's some sort of book club reprint, rather than a first edition, in case that's what you were looking for.

I simply collect the various books about adventure gaming in their various editions and incarnations. This one really interests me.

Be aware that there is black cellotape (I guess it is cellotape, the black border) on the spine... so poor condition of the book...

I would probably say no - not that rare.  Plus these were very poorly bound.  I have yet to see one where the spine isn't cracking/pages loose.

C&S - I had one in near perfect condition that I sold on eBay in June. There was only two bids on it and it went for $20.

I know exactly what red_bus means about the binding. I have another copy of C&S stored in an envelope to lessen the chances of losing pages. The spine "exploded" just through normal use.

We never used C&S as a stand alone system, but it was great for mining little nuggets from to add to a campaign.

Too right.  It is great for campaign info. and bits and pieces - but the combat system was grim - and the magic system...  8O
