Book values

From jrdahlst56 on 8/10/2018 9:09:59 PM

I have a copy of Tsumura's brown book in excellent condition and two copies of the red book, both with dust jackets and one copy also includes the slip case, loose correction pages, and the tan softbound commentary (or something) in Japanese. From what I've seen the red books are fairly common but the brown book is almost impossible to find--I read somewhere that only 250 were printed, less even than 1001 Banjos. What are the market values on these books? Thanks.

I spent about $500 for my brown book and, I think $195 for the red book (including the corrections, slipcover and Japanese supplement).

Thanks, that agrees with what little I've been able to find online.
