Actually, didn't check that far. I'd assume it to be 1977.

Perhaps the people in HOU have big overheads.

Or just big heads.

It's not so surprising for books to be higher overseas. 37.50 USD for a 60-page
paperback is a wee bit steep, but not unknown for books OoP. Maybe it costs
BECKER more to keep the caps lock on.

Things don't always go badly for us outlanders. I bought some of my Keenan
Sydney tramways books from Alibris (used but immaculate) for much less than the
ARHS price, and without having to pay international postage. Had I known, I
could have got a clean copy of the Southeastern volume from them as well,
instead of the water-damaged one purchased from a used bookshop in Oz. Nothing
against the bookseller - the volume was out of print and I grabbed for it. Nor
nothing against ARHS, they've been exemplary. Alibris having the books in stock
was just fortuitous.
