[mtquivers]

I was just given these by a good friend of mine. Anyone know where I can get more info on values? I dont want to sale them. Just wonder what they're worth?

I recently saw where a 2nd edition sold for around $35 and expect that 1st to bring more.  I would guess $50-100 if in excellent shape.

The first sells for about 100 or so and as Lon mentioned the second maybe 30-40.00.bowdoc

I would like to share a little story with you about maybe how tight traditional archers really are and what things like those copy's you have really mean to guy's like us.I went to purchase a copy of the first edition just about the time Northwest Archery was closeing the doors for good.Believe it or not they were all sold out.Every copy they had had been sold.Suzanne StCharles was working the front that day.She was so kind as to check the stock room for left over stock and it was sold out too.I've been a customer of thiers for many years and friends with the family about as long.My son worked for Glenn and Margett over 8 years.So wanting to help me out Suzanne went upstairs to Glenns home and told him I was downstairs and wanted a copy of the records book really bad.Glenn took his personal reading upstairs copy signed it the same as all the others were signed.He put it into a paper bag folded the bag closed and told her it was kind of used and to just give it to me.I will admit something for sure that happend to me that day.I learned a hell of a lot about traditional archery there,but I really learned something about people that day too.I still get just a misty eyed today when I look through the record book as I did the day it was given to me.The book is great but the man behind the book is the greatest.......bowdoc

Doc, great story and a priceless memory.  To have an emotional attachment to books, bows, or whatever makes it a little more humbling when using them.  We should all have that experience........Denny

"The book is great but the man behind the book is the greatest."
I couldnt agree more. Thanks for the story Doc.
I think I'll go make my friend a bow.
