[ANSTHRLD] 2nd Ed Withycombe

[Joseph Percer]

I'm not a book dealer or anything, so these are just assumptions. Please put
me on the rack if I'm wrong....

Typically, a first edition anything will fetch more of a price than any
other edition, from a book dealer's standpoint, because they're not always
looking for the information therein.

To us, a 3rd edition Withycombe is worth the most, because that is what
edition is used by the SCA College of Arms, and is on the no-photocopy
documentation list. (I have a feeling there's more to this reason, but I
just don't know, history lesson, anyone?)

Yours in Service,

Jayme Dominguez del Valle, Seawinds Pursuivant Extraordinary
