There is a full page ad on page 41 of Summer issue of PP- Shows the trade ed. volumes 1 and 2 at $295- no mention of a discount for PGCA members, but there is free shipping to the USA for subscribers to the DGJ.
I have the 1960 Peter Johnson book, as does almost every Parker collector, and as soon as I sell some of the gun parts (Parker and LC Smith) and op books, I will try the $195 "blemished" copies route and ask, as a paid up PGCA member (but NOT a DGJ subscriber) if that free shipping is do-able- I believe Mr. Cote is in Northern MI- and media rate is fine with me.
How-some-ever: whether its $195 or $295, that's some shell and bird shootin' dinero for moi!- and as there are many gents on this Forum willing to answer any question at all about our beloved "Old Reliables"--that and the quality work of Austin Hogan that gives us our quarterly Parker Pages magazine, for now I'll pass- Maybe I can get Santa to put it on his list!
