Out of curiosity, what would that sell for?

Nice get.

I likes me some used book stores. Whenever I travel, I always look to see if there's one nearby that I can check out.

Out of curiosity, what would that sell for?

Hundred bucks probably. Maybe triple that if Clancy signed it.

Saw it on Abe Books from $16-25. Not a mint but a decent return.

I wish it was autographed. Looks like a read once, put on bookshelf condition.

Could be worth more than $100 then. See if you can get it appraised maybe.

I have a few that I want to have appraised. Might be reaching critical mass to making a trip.
