I was watching this rare precious book on the letters that the China Inland Mission published in 1875, I watched the bidding start at $9.99, and was interested, very interested, coz I love to read missionary accounts and history, and it went to $26, I was going to lay back and see if the bidding got crazy....look where it ended....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330046006877&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:12wow!But let me say this, the seller, dust and ashes, has WONDERFUL compilation that he published. He gathered all the rare works of J. Hudson Taylor, thousands of dollars worth of unavailable writings and sells it for $95, I was fortunate enough to purchase a copy, and its well worth the price ( I paid $85...lol)bartle
