Re: rare book dealers?

Here is the address of a rare/OP/collectibles book dealer I have used here
in Oregon:
        Suzanne and Truman Price
        7210 Helmick Road
        Monmouth, OR 97361
        Ph. (503) 838-5452
        TruPrice@aol.com

 I checked their catalog and found a listing for a copy of _Tales of a
Grandfather_ in fair condition (front board loose, some water damage,
slightly browning pages) for which they are asking $55.  That may give you
something to go on.
