But on the other hand one needs to be able to pull the trigger on something truly rare regardless of the condition. I never thought I'd find an actual 1st print from 1979 of the Ironhedge book, but it just arrived. It is not in very good shape (maybe good-, I'm going to look at it further) but John Brooke, the author told me he only made 100 of them, none of his friends have one and he knows of no extant copies. So while I will keep looking for a nicer copy, I'm glad I picked up this one, because I truly do not know if I'll find another one.


Shrink is not a condition

It can be tough sometimes if the price is high (or higher than expected). Especially when something is so rare that there's no info online to guide you. Just ran into an old wargame last week - I can't find anything on it except it's copyright entry.

I was not deeply impressed with them, Axel.  Unless you can get them on the cheap or with a nice discounted Lulu coupon, I don't think that they're very noteworthy.

aia, I think you have a bad link.  It's being blocked as malicious, at least for me.

Not your fault; it was a bunch of "crap" that eBay sticks on the end of the URL for various tracking purposes.  The URL ended up being like ten lines long, and included several characters that our firewall didn't care for.

Generally, you can get pretty simple with an eBay URL.  Anything after the "?" is fluff.  Here's what I cleaned your link up to (with the hyphens around "eBay" added here so as not to trigger my code):

The price seems high, but it's almost impossible to find a copy of it nowadays.

Luckily i already own mine :D

This popped up today, then disappeared:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Then it was back, at a higher price:

It appears to be a really nice copy.  Looks like one from Doug's collection?  Should be on some Acaeum member's list...
