I have seen that book sell on eBay in the not too distant past for between $125.00 & $225.00. Exceptions are autographed copies and ones with the dust jacket (never seen but one). The sellers listing it through ABE evidently are convinced it's worth more. One seller has it at $800.00 and a couple others have it in the $300-$400 range. I personally think it's one of the top two bicycling books ever written (can you guess the other?) and should be a must read by anyone interested in the history of American bicycle racing, whatever it costs.
