• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

WTB: Significant Tornadoes, 1680-1991 by Grazulis

The prices are high on the original because it's a collector's item and hard to find. Hopefully the updated version won't be as expensive, but due to the sheer size of the books I'd expect the price to be north of $200 for the set.
 
I should note that there are at least 155 libraries that have a copy of this book: http://www.worldcat.org/title/significant-tornadoes-1680-1991/oclc/29191441&referer=brief_results

If anyone wants info on a particular storm and doesn't have a library near them with it, message me and I will try to go look it up for you, as my local library here in Plano has it (although it can't be checked out and has to stay in the library). You might also try to get on interlibrary loan, as I suspect there is a library somewhere that does lend it.

If I can remember correctly, the original book cost $100. I was able to get the 1880-1989 version on eBay last year for $30! I would expect this updated version would be more than the original book, but not what we're seeing on Amazon. I think $200 is reasonable.
 
Hello guys. I have a used copy of the book "Significant Tornadoes, 1680-1991" by Tom Grazulis, 1993. ISBN: 1879362031. May I ask what a reasonable price would be? It appears to be high when I look it up and don't want to just give it away. I appreciate any insight. John
 
I just looked it up in bookfinder.com. Whoa. I don't sell books, but I read somewhere to ignore the 3 lowest & highest priced, then go for the middle. Taking condition into consideration. Of course, you never know how much these books actually sold for, but still, all are over $245.

Try looking at ebay, show only completed items. May be more realistic, but the prices are still good. Note that in my experience, ebay is where the best bargains are, so they are priced a bit low? I didn't check ISBN's on ebay so some might not be identical to yours.

Nancy,
Thank you very much for your insight and the great information you gathered. My copy has a mini issue with the binding but the book is in good shape. I will go on ebay and figure out how to proceed further. I'll let you know. Thanks again
John
