Does that mean I would get 5.5 million for my Birds of Texas field guide? |

That is an elephant portfolio (term is used in reguards to size of the book plates) and there are very few of these left (they say around 120 in the article) since most were broken up and pieced out for the plates which for a few birds go over $10,000 each (beware of many many later printings from the plates or outright fakes). He also did small sized editions but the biggest demand is for the elephant portfolio. His mammals version doesn't quite rate the same rates though the work is just as good. BTW he spent a lot of time living in New Orleans working on these books. |
