I have a like-new copy of VINTAGE BAR WARE: IDENTIFICATION AND VALUE GUIDE (1997) to offer to some lucky Lounger. I can find no flaws to this book. It has one of those thick, plastic-coated covers and has been sitting on a shelf untouched for a decade or more.
The cheapest price for a near-fine copy of this out-of-print book at Abebooks.com is $135.00 (a former library copy is priced at $68 there). A seller on eBay has it at a Buy It Now price of $179.95. It can be had in like-new condition at Amazon for $99.38.
I'll sell it to the first lounger who claims it for $70, plus the full price of shipping via the method of your choice (I don't mind shipping abroad, but you must cover all the costs).
Post here then send me a PM, please, and be prepared to send payment via Paypal.
