No, Gordon, the link is just damaged. But it is only a link to a collector.
Try this one: ebay-link

Thanks, Socrates.  It's another of these cases of "what is rare?"  It is rare as the book would only have been a small print run, but it has also been replaced by a more up-to-date version, so why pay a lot for it?

Quite so. I have a copy of this book, but I'd happily swap it for the updated version. Collector catalogues are only worth what people are prepared to pay for them once they've been superseded.

Its amazing how a few sellers want to exploit the words collection, collector, collected.....
