Well, Amazon's cheapest used copy is a whopping $96, but eBay has a couple 
editions still in the more reasonable range, but they still have a ways to go.  
It looks like both have staining and yellowing, though.  Might need a sighted 
person to confirm in some places.

How much are y'all willing to pay if I watch them?
