Congrats Allen,

A quick question if you don't mind. Did you purchase the Trade Edition, and if so is it hardcover? I can't seem to find out about the binding anywhere, and to the best of my knowledge the Limited Editions are long gone.

Thank you,
Tom

Hi Tom, I purchased Vols I & II and they are hard cover. I think I got them from the double gun journal folks. Not cheap. But Vol I so far is very interesting and I haven't had to take any no-doze pills to get through the pages. Charles Parkers early life as a businessman is very interesting. So far, it's a good read for me and fascinating history. Worth it if you treasure Parkers and want to know more about the history.

Tom, I have the Trade editions. Grendel Books has a set of the Limited edition I believe for $500 used (Vol I&II).

I have thought about getting a second set, just because the set I have gets heavy use. I wish I had bought the limited edition when it was still available

Mills, I'm sure you can find a used set of Limited Editions on the web. Grendel Books has a set I think

Mills, I googled 'The Parker Story Book' and the first source that came up was 'Abebook.com'. They have a set for $500 which I believe is the Limited Edition. Used.

There's a set on Ebay right now.
