A.H. Fox by McIntosh

Post by bamboozler »

Recently, I watched a couple of eBay auctions of Michael McIntosh's book A. H. Fox The Finest Gun In The World, the trade edition seems to be now selling for some real money. It wasn't all that long ago they were lingering on the booksellers shelves at less than the issue price.

The limited leather bound edition of 500 copies signed by McIntosh brought less than the trade edition, I wonder why?

.....perhaps it was because it had a nasty gash out of the leather on the spine.

Wow!! Somebody must have wanted that revised trade edition really bad!! To my eyes the color reproduction of the pictures in the original trade edition is better than in the revised edition. I had about six pages of errata for the revised edition, but the only thing "revised" was the addition of the chapter on the CSMC Ansley H. Fox doubles.

I bought the regular hardcover edition from Amazon about 3 years ago for $40. Don't tell me I've bought something that has actually appreciated.
