Posted by Tom Young on April 21, 2000 at 20:21:52: Since we've just seen a couple of the less common titles fly by(*), I was curious about what really are the most scarce. Based mostly on watching the online sources for the past eight or nine months, I'd hazard something like the following list. I am counting original hardcover editions (as opposed to paperback and re-issues), but also including relative availability of ex-libes and later printings. The list is partly ranked, partly just clumped, and I'm considerably less certain about the second half. 1) Prince Commands 2) Murders For Sale 3) Ralestone Luck 4) Follow the Drum 5) Yankee Privateer 6) Sword In Sheath 7) Sargasso of Space 8) Bertie and May 9) Plague Ship 10) Huon of the Horn 11) Day of the Ness 12) Ride the Green Dragon 13) Outside 14) Rebel Spurs 15) Shadow Hawk 16) Stand to Horse "Ride the Green Dragon" is a strange entrant (given date of 1985), but I think I've only seen two, maybe three copies listed. Also seems odd to not have more of the early sci-fi titles here, but most of them show up pretty often, at least as ex-libes. Comments, suggestions welcome. No pretense to expertise here, and I'm sure this list needs lots of emendation. Just trying to stir up a fresh thread. (*) Meant to mention this earlier -- I think I snagged that ex-libe of Yankee Privateer that Ngaire spotted, but won't feel sure till have in hand. Congrats to Jerrie on the copy of Sheath.
