My late dad had a 1974 copy of this book stored away in the loft. A quick search seems it's quite rare and valuable. There are 4 available on Amazon, all for at least £800+.
Can anyone tell me if this is a realistic price for this book, or has one person tried their luck and 3 others have followed suit?
Thanks

It's a wonderful book. Since the volume certainly is no longer in print, that price does not seem unreasonable to me. But, as always, there has to be a willing buyer and a willing seller who can agree on the price.
Have you looked on eBay to see if there are any recent 'completed transactions' for this book ?
BTW, for books of this vintage, condition is a prime consideration when establishing a fair value.

Thanks for the reply quizzical.
I have to admit that most of it is wasted on me, but it did seem to stand out amongst his many others.
Tried eBay and there didn't even seem to be any previous finished listings that I could find.
The sleeve has some wear on the edges but the pages themselves are in fantastic condition.
I might have to try eBay with either a set price or a high reserve.

If this is the book about which you post, there actually was a recent eBay sale at $210.

Ahh, I've been looking at .co.uk as I'm in England.
Good to see though. My dads is also a first edition
It has become a somewhat sought-after book. It is worth at least $250. USD. Maybe more.
