Just managed to pick up a First Edition copy of Frank Garcia's It's All In A Nutshell for 40 bucks on ebay. Pretty excited to finally get my hands on this book.

I purchased my copy of this book in the mid-'70s. Although Garcia's claim to some of the material contained therein was subsequently challenged, it's nevertheless a good routine.

Cool. One last question: Was it spiral bound?

GREAT!
I think I just bought this edition from a second hand seller here in Germany - for 13 euros (~ 18 usd)! But I only believe it when I have it!

It comes up for sale quite often. I saw a copy in Andy Greget's booth at IMX.
This comment came from Todd Lassen over on the Genii forums: "Andy says I can post his new phone number..so here is for anyone else looking for Andy or a book. 480 284 4363. "
