If you get if for that I'll be thrilled to bits! smile. Midnight Moon had been going for $250 to $500 on eBay auctions, unfortunately, or at least was when I was trying to buy it (I gave up!). People snipe the price up at the last 2 or 3 seconds.
sigh. I've wanted to read this book for over 30 years and never have been able to get a copy!

Well, Amazon's cheapest used copy is a whopping $96, but eBay has a couple editions still in the more reasonable range, but they still have a ways to go. It looks like both have staining and yellowing, though. Might need a sighted person to confirm in some places. How much are y'all willing to pay if I watch them?

To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, March 12, 2010, 7:29 PM Dear Booksharian Friends,In a couple of weeks Akron will have an antiquarian bookfair with over 60 dealers. Often these books, many of which are rare collector's items, are too expensive for our Volunteer budgets, but you never know what perfectly priced treasure is there.I haven't saved all of the exchanges about series orauthors some of you are trying to cover. If you are looking for any books, write to me off list with the book name and author and the highest price you'll pay. If I find what you're looking for I'll buy it and the postage to send it to you will be my contribution.I could also call you on my cell before buying anythingfor you, and, you can pay me after you get the book.I'm not sure what I'll be looking for; probably somethingIrish, Scottish, Welsh or poetry. The fun is in the search.Always with love, Lissi
