I purchased my copy from EBay paid 175 and it is definitely a re print, the only downside is pictures are very blurry, but the words are clear and so full of golden nuggets that it is worth every penny and then some. It does come in a nice bound hard cover so that should help it last. The guy who shipped it was from Thailand and I have nothing but good things to say he communicated and shipped just like he said he would. I know 175 sounds like a lot, however it really isn’t when you step back and look at the big picture, especially if you are really wanting to learn about these dogs!
