What is the current value/price for a signed and inscribed copy of Milt Thompson's book "At the Edge of Space"? What have people paid in the past? |

Be leery, he only signed very few of them before he died. In fact, I only know of two. |

He signed mine too! Dunno if mine was one of the two that Al has seen or not... |

Thank you to both Al and Dennis. Both sent me emails and that led to an interesting discussion and sharing of ideas and facts. cS is a great place to learn stuff. |

Why would he have only signed a few? |

Perhaps because he passed away only a year after it was published? |

I bought this signed book about 2 weeks ago, I had been looking for one for years, without success.Both albatron and micropooz helped me and we got a good discussion going. Al told me that the dedication is to Fred Stoliker, he was the Air Force Flight Test Center Technical Director, a Google search tells you more, and I could not be happier with my surprising find. The X-15 program fascinates me, they did great things so long ago.  |

I found a signed copy a year or two ago (one of the two Al referred to that he knew). Paid a princely sum for it. $10. I was shocked to find one. Had casually put it in a search for signed books and it popped up. Had been looking for several years. |
