I don't think eBay would draw so much.  I see big prices via obscure book 
specialists who use locator services like Alibris.

Indeed, but that was already mentioned.  Even though the text is an 
assembly of brief articles, it's truly amazing to see such a substantial 
tome without any proper citations anywhere.  That would constitute a 
semi-major crime by today's writing standards.

The edition to which Greg referred on Amazon is so called "library binding" 
of xerographic copies of the last Schott edition.  It's the original Schott 
printings that are taking big money.

Best,
