RE: (erielack) Concordance Map (was re: Further Query-EL West End )

["Michael Dye" <"luxpan_@_hotmail.com">]

To tell the truth, I haven't seen anyone offering a copy of that book in 
quite some time. I would estimate current price for a copy to be $60-$80 
from a shop with a railroad interest. Perhaps less at various used book 
shops.

Sorry I couldn't be of assistance.
