Special Note: Folks, this is a rare title. Books like this don’t come along often and with each passing year the opportunities to acquire such rarities grow less frequent. I do my best to bring these special items to auction whenever possible, but the only way I can continue to offer gems like this in auction format is if you bid on them. Every bid is important to me, and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your interest in my books. If there are no bids on this item and you don't want to wait for the auction to end, feel free to make me an offer. I would be happy to add a Buy It Now price to the auction as long as there are no bids. However, as soon as a first bid is placed, the offer/Buy It Now option disappears and the auction must continue until the appointed closing time.
