Well Michael, you're probably correct. Still...if it's in
better than
VG condition I'll give you $100.00 for it right now. Pronto.
Today.
And that would be ripping you off.
If you truly wanted to find out how much it's worth, you
could
contact Paperback auctioneers such as Rose Idlet at Black
Ace
(213-661-5052, email <roseidlet@aol.com>, or Lynn
Munroe at
(714-633-333). Both of these people are among the best for
giving
information and they don't expect anything in return.
Though I doubt that they've seen one.
Maybe Lynn has, call him first. Another person
you could talk to would be Tom Lesser, organizer of the LA
Paperback
show. Tom has tens of thousands of paperbacks in house
including all
the Pockets (including The Good Earth), all the Dells, Gold
Medals
etc. Very friendly guy with a wealth of information, and he
knows
*everyone*. (818-349-3844)
