I bought a secondhand telescope a few years ago and it came with a pile of books including the second edition in mint condition. I saw one being sold on IIS at $200+ and wondered why it was worth so much. I asked a veteran amateur astronomer friend who said he'd phone up David Malin and ask him. David said that the reason of the high price was probably due to it being a limited print edition. I sold mine for $200 to an IIS member , probably could have asked for more at the time but I got it as a bargain anyway!
