First Edition Reading the Water - Hardcover
I have one, bought it on MV in 1989. What is it worth?
Thanks

it depends on the condition. Could be $100 - $150.
Check Abebooks or bookfinder. I got a 1st. edition autographed by Post there a few years ago for like $125.

My favorite book ever. We make it mandatory winter reading for Vineyard rookies.
I bet I have read it cover to cover 20 times and I still love reading and learning from it.

Sauerkraut is mentioned in that book several times, and the father who was too excited during a blitz at Gay Head to notice his son being washed away is this guy  . |
