I hope you missed a decimal point there, but if that book is for sale
for $ 1,800, I'll gladly sell mine for $ 1,700!  It's paperback,
reasonably clean, and probably a good place to start from.  Has this
book become some kind of cult classic ?  Does this mean that old
hippie/hillbilly blacksmiths from the Ozarks are now hot product...Hot
Damn, let me fire up the ole word processor and go get Bob P, we'll
drink some elderberry wine and tell tales of powered wild turkey
gizzards and mud daubers as welding flux and about the blacksmith shop
and 374 pound Peter Wright at the bottom of Table Rock Lake, covered up
by an uncaring Corps of Engineers while the tearful widow looked out her
window... oh, I'm sorry.  'tis August and the Dog Days are upon us.
Must be the heat.
