Unintended Consequences by John Ross

In my opinion, this is a book that needs to be read (and re-read) by every gun owner in the country...but I digress - I've been looking for some copies to use as gifts and loaners for some friends. I'm astounded...the cheapest copies I find are $60.00, with the high end falling between $600.00 and $800.00. I can't help but wonder what my first edition, signed by the author copy would be worth (probably not so much since it's pretty well-read)... On the upside, I find that Accurate Press is planning on publishing a soft cover edition that will be selling in the $30.00 range...

    Very good book well worth the read! I have two hard cover versions of it.

    I would consider it a personal favor if you could let us know when you see the soft cover is available.
    Thanks

    I have a hard cover copy. I've loaned it to possibly 2 dozen people. If anyone is interested in borrowing it, let me know.

    Thank you. i want one, plus i want some extras to loan out. Especially to my liberal friends.

    I've searched for it on line and as you say it's $60 for a VERY used copy and the price goes up from there.

    Put me in line... sounds like a great read. I can't find it for less than $120 used through Amazon.

    Buffco is first in line, if he chooses.

    I think I may have to get a hold of Accurate Press and tell them the time for breaking out the reprints is "NOW MORE THAN EVER!". I bought my own hardcover a few years back and would gladly buy a couple paperpacks to have as loaners. Like Jay says, it's a must read.

    I was going to ask how he would like me to handle that. He may want it back to ensure its being taken care of, but I'll do whatever he wishes.

    I found my copy at a yard sale about ten years ago. I think I paid $1 for it. It doesn't have a dust cover and it has been passed around A LOT. It is just a book. It is supposed to be read and re-read.

    Now that I have an e-copy (thanks Alpha) I'm not worried about it.

    You guys pass it around all you want.

    Hey thanks Alpha. :beer: I just saved a copy.

    Obviously not as good as paper and ink but way better than nothing.
    That's all I got.
