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.

Yeah, I remember when they could be bought all day long for $30.
Maybe it went put of print after Peter died. As it was offered by Blue Book.

Charlie Price turned the manuscript data he had researched over to Fjestad (Blue Books) and they own the copyright. Why they haven’t run another printing is anybody’s guess.
My guess is that they can’t see a good enough return on what it would cost to reprint it.
