I have looked a long time for a nice copy of this scarce issue. Just picked it up from Heritage.

Thanks! All you needed was one more bid and it was yours. I was not going any higher.

So if I offer you one bid more for it you will sell it to me?

Ah, I waited too long for this issue. Will just enjoy for now. Besides Richard, you have too many super cool books already. Save some for the rest of us.  lol

Endowment effect!

Actually the lowest of the three graded copies (the others are a 9.2 and a 9.0).  Can't complain because this one looks a big generously graded.

I love the series, but it is not entirely true that they are hard-to-find in grade. Not easy, but not impossible either...

The census doesn't seem to be much of a guide on some of these books that few people were getting graded until fairly recently and not all that many people are even now. My guess is that apart from warehouse finds most of these books are pretty tough in high grade because not many people bothered to preserve them.  

Is Crippen the only ped with substantial runs of romance books?  I believe Edgar's holding were pretty spotty.

Mostly anecdotal from box diving all these years but I have seen most of the issues of that title fairly often and usually in fine or better shape. #5, the last issue, is naturally seen the least...

Don't recall ever having seen it.  Very nice copy.
