Is this Book really worth $66. The Current Bid on ebay.

I know one of Inosanto's book is out of print.

Just curious
 
The price is not out of line. I've seen it similarly priced before. It is out of print.

Is it worth that? Well, it certainly has historical value.
 
$71 now....
Well, I wouldn't give up my copy for $71; of course mine is signed by the author.
With three days to go it willl top out higher. Is it worth it as a technique book; I don't think so. As a piece of history; yeah.

Like others have said, the high price is because it is out of print. I got mine at a used bookstore for cover price or less, if I remember correctly. Some time back, I saw it on some rare book webstore for around $300. If you're willing to shell out the bread for it, then it is worth it for you...other people's mileage may vary.

Mine is priceless because it was the first thing to introduce me to FMA.

A friend of mine sold it with two escrima sticks for $10. 00 back in the day!!!:)
 
Well, maybe if I could skim through a person's copy with them present of course, I would then see what I might want. ;)
 
Rich-
If you are serious about finding a copy at a decent price I would haunt the used books stores. While you can always find things on ebay some jackass always pushes the cost too high. :D

As I recall from a brief and, um, befuddled, trip through many years ago Ann Arbor has quite a few decent book shops.

Yes my local town has a couple, and Ann Arbor is the Capitol of the Used Book Market in the area. It is a matter of time and investment. If I read it and find it to my liking then I can add it to my list. I beleive ihave browsed it before, yet I ahve to make sure, since I have read soo much, and I do not want to make mistakes.

As to Ebay, I have my reasonable price and I do not go over it for no reason. I can find it elsewhere or wait for all teh crazies to to get their copy first.

Thanks Chad and Tim

If you find a copy at the right price you owe it to yourself....at least that is how I always look at it.
But then I have a powerful book addiction for which I will not apologize.

I also have a great addiction, and I used to have a decent collection. I have replaced many a book in the last few years though. Yet, right now I am limiting it to those I read and re-read or want to read as new.

Good points though

It's a great book ... BUT... I'd sell my copy for $300.

Any takers ?
:shrug: :confused: ;)
