Just a side question, but when did the book go out of print? I am asking this because I bought one about three years ago when I bought a couple of nice Parkers and I wanted the reference. I ordered it new at a reasonable price and shrink wrapped in the original packaging. I didn't realize it was out of print until a few months ago and someone was bemoaning the fact that he couldn't locate a copy. I notice that now used ones are trending in the $100-200 range, if you can find them. Seems pricey for a paperback that was published 23 years ago and was readily available until recently. I suppose it is a book that, if you need it you buy it and keep it.
