I actually paid only $124 plus $28 for Express Mail shipping to the US a couple auctions back. The book arrived quickly and was in "like new" condition. The current auction is already at $140 with four days left to go.

Good luck.

I won the last one @ $170.05. Didn't get it yet.

Congratulations "Don". You won that one for much less than you bid on the previous auction.

Patience pays off!

I wonder how many more of these books they have.

I paid $50. for my first one. That was back in '97, I believe. I studied it so much that all of the pages came unbound, lol.

YES this is something that all of you who buy one will have to be careful of...the binding on these books is not that great. Mine is okay, but I try to be careful with it.

In what way?

He must have had these stashed in a box. It has that musty cellar smell to it.

I tell ya, after looking at that book, I want a Jazzbo, Banjoline, and one of those 1957 Combo guitars...

Hey Chris P,

I was about to snipe the latest copy of the Rittor book on eBay when I noticed you were on it. I decided make you the recipient of my good deed for the day! I'm still after a copy, so if you come across another let me know.

Darren, your grace is accepted...with gladness! I will return the favor some day...

I don't know how many more of these books this seller has, but from what I've heard from several people, it is most definitely worth the $$$! A worthwhile reference book.... Now I just have to brush up on my Japanese

Probably more like Louis XVIIII cognac - after eating his sauted whale.
