Looks like there's a first edition on ebay US for $70, and a handful of 1986 reprints of the same book on Amazon for considerably cheaper. I also ran across this title while poking around for the other one.
I had this book and around 30 years ago I had a storage unit broken into, and a lot of stuff was stolen. Amazingly, I recovered almost everything (paying a finder's fee), but a few things never turned up, and one was this book.
So I bought the one on eBay, and now I have it again. It would be ironic if it was my one that was stolen!
Thanks for reminding me.

The finished product in all it's glory.
One great detail is that some pages have a stamp on them ( something that lots of book owners did back in the day). This one says "Brune Fermé" so I googled the name. Turns out it was an italian guy who, in 1915, founded the first ad agency in... China! Would love to know how part of his book collection ended up in Argentina...
Thanks for sharing

I have just ordered a copy at a reasonable price and cannot wait to receive it.
Boy do the prices for the many available copies vary. One seller advertising it for $1,500 U.S. for an original 1934 printed copy in fair condition..
Of Human Bondage Long Daybill
And it was love at first sight with Oliver Twist Australian One Sheet
Finally, some great early aussie cinema heralds Lovers and Luggers plus Rangle River (Thanks for always helping me out Mark)
