Auction #114: "The Exploration & Survey Of Ellison's Cave"

Postby Larry E. Matthews » Mar 3, 2015 6:42 pm

Auction #114 is for a Like-New copy of "The Exploration & Survey Of Ellison's Cave, Georgia" by Marion O. Smith (1977). This is an autographed copy, with the autograph dated December 14, 1977. This book is 141 pages long, with Black and White photographs. My name and NSS number are also written inside the cover.

This book was printed in very small numbers and it is rare to find a copy, especially in this condition. Due to it's rarity, I am starting this auction at $30. All subsequent bids must be in $5 increments. Postage in a Padded Mailer will be an additional $5. No International Shipments.

This auction starts today, March 3, and ends in two weeks on Tuesday, March 17, at 8:00 pm CDT.

Good luck !!!

I have this book and can say first hand that it's worth it's weight in gold (not really, but you know what I'm saying). This book will never be reprinted and there is nothing else out there with the in depth survey history of the early exploration of Ellisons. Just my opinion....
