And this is the sort of price one would expect for a 25-year-old, un-scarce
book. So why the USD223 and USD500 price tags - and I repeat the question -
is there a scarcer, more valuable, more desirable edition? If so, I would
imagine it would be the first edition and not the second one that is being
offered at these prices. As an interesting sidenote - the chap who
currently seems to run the Olympus Camera Club here in the UK is Ian Aston
and he is given a translation credit in my English copy.

I got mine by doing a Google search, and found a bookstore in Sheffield
(England) that had one for £3, that was posted to me. It turned out to be
in pretty good condition.

The reserve has
not been reached but I think he had a $99 BIN price when previously listed.

I hope you got your book, Bill. If not, you may have better luck on this
side of the pond. There is one currently on UK Eb*Y sitting at GBP15 with
over 5 days to go ; in September one went for GBP4.20; there has been a BIN
at GBP6.99 (in May 2002), but there has been a maximum price of GBP105 in
the middle of last year. ABEbooks have two listed at USD223 (in the UK) and
USD500 (in USA), both 2nd editions. I bought my copy for USD15 from a
German bookseller. So why is there this variation? Is one edition more
valuable or rarer or more desirable in some other way than another?
just curious
