Caves of California Book For Sale

[daj]

I have an original Caves of California book #91 of this very rare 1962 William R. Halliday book for sale. Of the 500 copies of this book that were printed 48 years ago, 175 copies were lost in a "flood". A signed copy sold on this site about 5 years ago. Here is the link to that thread.

My copy is not signed but it is in excellent condition. I am asking $500 plus postage and insurance. I can send scans for serious inquires.

I noticed that the book was owned by Katherine St. Clair. She was an MMV member in St. Louis and passed away many years ago.

Yes, I found a Mrs. James St Clair listed in my 1970 NSS Members Manual. She was NSS #4840. I bought this book from a book store in Ferguson, MO two years ago.

Have you contacted Bill Halliday (see NSS Members Manual) to ask if he has anyone on a "waiting list"? If the book is legitimately rare enough to warrant an asking price of $400.00, then surely he's been contacted by people trying to acquire a copy.

It has been two years since I posted this book for sale. I have not seen any other Caves of California books for sale on either Ebay or any book seller sites in the past two years. I am going to reduce the asking price once more. I will now let this very rare book go for $325 plus postage. Anyone interested?

[Ernie Coffman]

Have you contacted Emily about the book? Remember, the convention is coming up and she just might want to sell another copy--either outright or possibly consignment. They're a pretty rare item!

The book has been sold. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey, to whoever bought that book, Bill Halliday is still alive and well, living here in Nashville, Tennessee. I'll bet he would be glad to autograph it for you.

You got an absolute steal, price-wise. What a deal !!!
