Rare? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The book was first printed in 1967, so you probably do have the first edition of the book. (If it is first edition, it will be marked so.) It doesn't seem to be particularly rare, though. First edition copies are available all over the Net, averaging about $100 for a copy in good/very good condition. If it is a library copy or Book Club edition, it will be worth considerably less. It appears the book is out of print, now.

Hold onto it and treasure it. Do you read music? It must be fun to be able to pick out the tunes. Do you like the Swann arrangement of "Road Goes Ever..." or the movie version better?
