Eclectic Books

NOTE: In the list which follows, there are two prices indicated–one before the / and one after. The first amount, taken from Amazon.com listings, adjusted down for the condition of these books, if necessary, represents my determination of a fair market value for the book. The second amount shown is my asking price (an effort to set a more practical price for a prospective buyer). Even my asking prices are subject to negotiation, especially for purchases in excess of $100. I would sell all 38 volumes to a single buyer for $625 (plus shipping and insurance–an amount to be determined).

Korniss, Péter. Ősi Karavãnutak Földjēn. Budapest: Képzömvészeti Kiadó, 1985. (Hardback, no Dust Jacket.) The text is in Hungarian. Péter Korniss is a famous Romanian-born Hungarian photographer. I find this book referenced in a list of his publications, but I do not find it on lists of books for sale on the Internet. This leads me to believe that it is rare and high-priced. Bids are invited in excess of $50.
