I have my personal collection copy and then I have my working copy. My working copy should really just be called a collection of papers as it is really not a book any more.......And would you believe I paid about a $100 for it in not much better shape than it is now!
You gotta have what You gotta have :P

Anyway GREAT Book!!!!

I walked into a Gun Shop in Northern Colorado last year and bought my copy for $39.95.  I guess it had been sitting on the shelf for quite a while.  I thought it was a reprint.  But I got lucky.
