Something of Value
I’m looking for a copy of “Something of Value” by Robert Ruark. I have copies of many of his books and would really like to find an early copy of this one. Please let me know if any has a copy you would like to offer up for sale.

Safari press carries it in H.B. but it a new publication.You might check Amazon,I have bought several vintage books there.Several years ago at the Dallas Safari Club meeting I picked up a 1st edition Uhuro for $35.00.They are out there. Try Amazon.

Now if it was only signed,what a treasure that would be.

I looked at the copies on eBay, if it wasn’t for a 3 year old grandson I’d probably go for a first edition, especially if signed. I did end up buying a copy from safari press. I think if I found a signed copy, I’d probably have to hock the bank and buy it

I got a signed first edition of “I didn’t know it was loaded” for $30. Came out of George Roosevelt’s (FDR cousin) estate. Granted, not as collectible as SOV, but the price was right. ;-)

I have quite a few signed additions on several subjects but for here I will confine to 1 by Bill Jordan,several from Jeff cooper + the reprint from SP of Horn Of the Hunter w/ a new forward + signed by Harry Selby.

Oh,forgot about "Unrepentant Sinner" by Charles Askins,probably have more but when you have a bunch it can be hard to remember.Hope my kids have a clue to what they're worth when I go.Everybody wants a find but I would hate to see them get shafted.

If a person read and admires Robert Ruark's books another must read is View From A Tall Hill by Terry Weiland. It's more of a critical bio of Ruark's heydays ,,
