I'm trying to find a copy of an old out of print book, 'Faint Praise: American Tanks and Tank Destroyers in WWII', by Charles M. Bailey. I know it's been out of print for several years now and no book site has a copy. Thought someone here might have a copy they would possibly like to part with. Thanks.

Yeah, already tried that one. Amazon, also. There is a copy avalible through a seller on Amazon but at $300. that's a lettle steep for me. Not saying that the book isn't worth it, I just can't afford it.

Hmmm. How much would you be willing to pay? Excellent condition, with dust jacket.

That's an excellent question. Like I said I know it's out of print and most out of print books seem to go for a premium. While I would like to have a copy of it, I don't want to mortgage the house to obtain a copy. I'll PM you a price and you can let me know what you think. Thanks.
