If you've got one lying around somewhere, and want to get rid of it, let me know! :)

Prefer 1944 or 1947 (1st, 2nd edition) with dust jacket. Would consider 2nd edition in 1953. 1st, 2nd, 3rd printing ok.

Amazon.com sellers are showing a 1953 3rd edition. There's a 2nd edition 1947 on alibris.com (http://www.alibris.com/search/detail.cfm?chunk=25&qwork=6650756&S=R&bid=1700718301&pqtynew=0&page=1&matches=9&qsort=p).

Thanks Peter. :thumbup:

I have been eyeing on a few copies on abebooks as well. I seriously think that some of them are overpriced and the sellers are very reluctant to send pictures too.

Hopefully I will bump into a copy on my next few trips to the used book stores.

Thanks Terry. Tried that too.

I have a feeling that the price went up due to A Beautiful Mind. Not that John Nash contributed much to that book.

True. I requested a used copy (of the then out-of-print) Mike Padlipsky's "The Elements of Networking Style". The seller that sold me a copy quoted a high price and then delivered a reprint from iUniverse. :mad: I was happy to get the book, but it was something of a scam.
