Robert, This is - relatively speaking - quite good value! My grandfather wrote to Melville in 1896 requesting a copy. Melville replied (I have a copy of his letter) stating that grandfather could indeed have one if he would send a money order for $4.00! He must have done this, my cousin having inherited it. It includes some excellent colour plates of various quarterings (64 in one example!) and is a nice collector's item (limited ed. of 600) Regards John
