Speaking of "Legion of the Lafayete" today I was able to track down Hall and Nordhoff's "The Lafayette Flying Corp" in a local bookshop. It was the 1964 reprint and though it was in excellent shape they were asking $600.
SIX HUNDRED BUCKS. Thinks I - thats a little steep for a reprint. So I go online and they are on the low end of the price range. The 1920 originals start at about twice that and go up to more than 4x.
I think were overdue for a new edition. How about Schiffer ? They recently made a new edition of "The New England Aviators" which is also two volumes.
Last time I looked an original edition of that set started around 5-600 $$'s as well. The Schiffer (is that the right spelling? It may only have one f) edition was about fifty bucks apiece.
How about it you authors out there. Do you think it would be worth it if I tried to contact them and suggested Hall & Nordhoff's books as a worthy addition to their selection?
