Yes, Fran is right...These usually run for around $100. Someone got a good deal.

I have two copies of the 1994 versions of this book.

This version for sale looks even like a NEWER than '94 revision.

The Hardcover is different than mine, but mine has a Dustcover that looks similar.

On this one pictured up above for sale, It looks like the Dustcover pics of mine are actually built into the Hardcover for this book, and that this book has no dustcover.

I am wondering what the copyright Date/Year is for this book for sale.

I'm wondering if its just a manufacturing variation of the books. I have always wondered this..

Maybe my books are 1994 books, but are not the "REVISED" editions.

Signed, Confused.

Maybe the original Seller of this book can help out the question before he ships it.

The original 1994 edition was hardbound with a dust jacket.
The book featured in this ad is a "revised" edition from 1997 with the jacket design incorporated into the covers of the book
and was published in part to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Thomas Edison's birthday.
Some slight revisions and additional info were added as well.

Yes... It can be an expensive book as most collectors know, because of its scarcity.
Check out this ebay seller from Australia wanting an obscene price of nearly $450.00 for a copy! :o
