Archived from groups: rec>collecting>books (more info?)

I am sitting looking at a HB copy of ""C" is for Corpse" that I picked up.
Pub Henry Holt. 1986. Not stated as BC. DJ tight & seems unread. Only thing
I notice is "A Rinehart Suspense Novel" on the title page.

Now, on ebay there are 2 apparently similar for mere $s.
Elsewhere I am seeing BIG money being asked for what seems to be the same
book. No mention of points or clues to 2nd, 3rd printings etc.

Anyone care to give me a clue or two? It would be nice if it were worth I
bundle, but I don't expect it...& besides I'd have to find a copy to read!

Yay

What am I missing?

Hello;
Per Thomas Lee
On the copyright page the 24 of 25 lines is a Number String
"13579108642" and the Dust Jacket price is $14.95 and no date on
copyright page. He states the "C" may be the Scarcest of the books. He
values a perfect copy @ $750

Greetings.

I have a copy of "C is for Corpse" that is similar to this description
except that it has "Copyright C 1986 by Sue Grafton" on the copyright
page. What edition would this be?

Thanks.

Michael meant to write that there is no date on the title page, rather than
the copyright page. If you have a complete number line and a priced dj, you
have a first.
