Probably a reasonable price for that edition (given that it's out of print, hardback, and that all editions of Child tend to sell for inflated prices), but the new Loomis House edition (assuming that all 5 volumes get published) will be much better value; beside the addition of music where it's available, the paper quality appears to be better than that used for Folklore Press publications in the 1950s.

I've seen the Loomis House edition, and it looks good. You can also get it from Dick Greenhaus at Camsco - just send a personal message to Dick.

The one I saw was the Dover edition, 5 volumes - same as mine, which I bought about 1981 new.

The URL was correct.

Here is your original link. I tried making a link to the photo on the page, but it just opens this page again.

With a starting bid of $100, I think I'd choose to get the Loomis House Edition throught Dick Greenhaus at Camsco, or direct from Loomis House. Volume 2 is available now, about $25 paperback and $35 hardcover - but Dick can get if for you cheaper.
