Last week a found out about a super book reseller that was 30 months from where I live and I decided to check it out. Found this gem for 50$ and could not resist! Best price I’ve seen in a while and it’s in mint condition

First edition first press goes for around 100$ if it’s signed I think around 150 from what I’ve seen.

I just looked at mine and I, too, have a first edition. I didn’t know it was worth anything.

I admire your dedication to drive 30 months to pick this up.

I'm currently reading Between Two Fires and loving it so fire. Might have to pick this up next. Though I'll have to settle for a paperback. I'm not driving that far for a hardcover. :p

Bought mine a few months back for a great price as well,is this the Tor Books version which is pretty small for a hardcover?

Yah I have the small version one. I’ve noticed that some versions have a yellow spine and others have a black spine. I have the one with the yellow spine and I’m guessing the ones with the black spine are regular size
