Found and bought one of the hard ones

[Old Dog]

Yesterday I was able to catch and purchase one of the hard to find first editions of James D. Dana's books on Mineralogy.
What thrills me is that the price was absolutely unprecedented!

It isn't "the" one everyone thinks is the "grail". but that will come in time.

Nice catch, Old Dog! For $10, it was more like a steal.

Bob,

I was really surprised to see it go for so little.

The first one that went was the 1837 System of Mineralogy...... $776.00

So I went in prepared for battle, and nobody showed.

Cool,

I got a really rare copy too... 1st ED
