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
