Collectors will be aware that many of the books are actually quite scarce, due to small print runs. When they do turn up in they are very often ex public library copies unfortunately. Experience suggests that in some cases almost entire print runs were allocated to library circulation. If you are seeking to collect books by this author it may well be considering ex library copies in jacket, presuming they are in reasonable condition of course.
