Thanks everyone for the enthusiastic response!
I got this book from the recent Berk "warm-up band" auction at ComicConnect. The price was very reasonable; whether it was the Berk effect, or maybe everyone burnt out (cashed out) by the time Science 3 landed on the auction block, or maybe the "TRADE THIS AT MILES 2nd HAND STORE Davenport, Iowa" stamp on the top front cover and in at least a couple places on the back cover, who knows. And thanks to one of the boardies who convinced me (sort of) to bid on this book in the first place. It really is quite nice in hand.
I got the carpet in Morocco. I agree, great colors!! I might be selling the carpet at the next CC "Special Event" Carpet Bazaar Auction. (that's CC for CarpetConnect )
