Big Beat Steve Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Marcel, so you were lucky, then, you got your copy at a time it was still affordable. I remember being very interested when it came out and even inquiring about it at the Bloomsbury Book Shop in London (run by John Chilton's wife) where I had bought books every now and then in the late 70s. In a stocklist of the jazz books in stock she sent me around that time she added a note saying "Can get To Bird with Love - 56 Pounds - ugh!!!" :D An understandable reaction ... This was about 250 to 280 Deutschmarks at the exchange rate of the time. So what could a student of 21 do? I did consider shelling out for Paul's copy but the skyrocketing shipping rates and other complications of such a transaction don't make it really feasible for me. Unfortunately ...

brownie Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Paul, did you manage to keep the Chan-Paudras book in as new condition? The lids of the corners of the outer box are broken on my as-new copy Good luck with your sale. Great prices on both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Want but right now a bit tight. Still a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 suggestion if you cannot sell - get it assessed, which might be at least $1200-1500; then donate it to a non-profit. At that assessed value you'll make as much in tax reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
