I bought this book a ways back and evidently loaned it to a friend - he returned it about 2 years later - I had forgotten all about it . Now as a hard copy with the same picture as this one - and for I think $29.00 then it looks like value went up some .

guess one should have invested in books as the value exceeds inflation
