Found this on ebay i bet a few guys here would love this for their collection? Packed with heaps and heaps of rare photos and good stories.

Yep, a real rare one that.

Just the 13 copies on ABE. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchR ... &x=85&y=15

Great book. Didn't think it was rare. Was that sarcasm in there somewhere?

Well im told its rare so if you found more maybe its not as rare as im told...

Isn't it still available from the publisher? It's still listed on the Canav books site.

A gem, anyway, rare or not.

August is correct - you can still order it direct from CANAV. Just takes a call to Larry. Most of his older titles are still available.

I'm sure if you phone him he'll not only sell you a copy but autograph it as well. A real good guy to deal with and an excellent book on "the Sword".

Yes, Larry is a solid guy and Canadian av history buffs owe him big time.

August

As others have said, it's still in print at the publishers, so not 'rare' at all.

And the moral of this story is, don't believe all that you read on ebay!

"Rare"

That's the favorite word on ebay, and man, am I sick of it ...

Appears that no matter where you look for the book, all roads lead to Larry.

Rare that book may not be, but worthwhile it certainly is, especially if you are fond of Sabres.

I found a bunch of aviation books a few months back in an antique market north of here at Freelton; the Sabre book was there (along with two or three other CANAV titles), iirc the Sabre one was either $10 or $12. Only reason I didn't buy it at that price was that I already had a pristine copy (bought when the book was first published). Should've bought it anyway. Did buy the earlier CANAV on the CF-100 ($8!) because my old copy was minus its dustjacket. Also picked up two or three non-CANAV volumes for similar daft amounts. Next time I visited that market the rest of the CANAVs were gone; no surprise there! Tip of the hat from this Canuck to Larry M for all those fine titles.

My Studebaker was "rare" on the internet too. Rare? Maybe yes, maybe no; but it was running (beautifully), it was reasonable, and it was built in my hometown to boot. Point is, if you like it, that's the main thing.
