Off_White Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 It's been years since I've looked at that book, ever since my buddy stole it back from me (it was his in the first place). Is the high price due to the autographs or is it some kind of rare book now? I could do without the hero worship, but some of those shots are great and the essays pretty good too. Quote
klenke Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 $350!! Sure that's not a typo? $35.00 perhaps? Of course, it is an old book (1983) that's no doubt out of print. That's really why it's so expensive. Plus, the essayists in it bump the price too. Quote

chirp Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 I have an original, UNsigned copy...damn I wish I had all tha autographs . I did spend a small fortune on a hardback, DJ copy of Layton Kors "Beyond the Vertical", my wife didnt even flinch when I bought it. Both are awesome books! Quote
