Heads up for collectors! It's not mine nor do I know the seller, but damn, look at the price.

I like this one of his myself http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hahnemann-as-a- ... SwubRXI5Z7
(Though he did misspell "Hanneman.")

Seriously, though, thanks for sharing. I imagine it will go for a lot but it's a real rarity.

"A Hughes by any other name would _ _ _"

Or maybe not. The Hahneman Hughes is this guy --
"RICHARD T. HUGHES is Distinguished Professor of Religion at Pepperdine University./e He has published many books, including "Models for Christian Higher Education", "Proclaim Peace", "Reviving the Ancient Faith", "The Primitive Church in" -- not "our" Ruby Dick.

Cheers again

Wait, you're saying he didn't also write the award-winning novel A High Wind in Jamaica back in 1929??

Whoever got it must be happy

Dang! If those prices are for real I may put my own mint-condition and signed copy up for sale! I'll use the proceeds to buy the newest edition.

A true book collector would buy the 2 versions :mrgreen:

But I'm not a book collector. I buy books for their content
