Even given the condition, that price was a steal, right? Or is there something else I'm missing here?

It’s a HMCO edition which typically go for less than their A&U counterparts from this era. In regard to the condition, the issues with the jacket and the fact that it’s pasted down to the book really detracts from the value IMO. It’s a little below what I’d expect it to go for but not by much.

Something's up with this volume in the current/recent market. There are literally no copies (UK or US) on eBay, two copies (US only) on Abebooks (cheapest is $400) and none elsewhere that a cursory look could find for me. eBay recent sales shows this one, a US edition for $90, and a UK for a few hundred dollars. These are getting hard to find, at any price.

Huh, you’re right, interesting…looks like 3 (including the OP) have sold on eBay in the last 2 1/2 months or so. Obviously condition played into sales prices.
