This title is scarce, especially in signed form. Only a handful of copies appear on the market at any given time, and signed copies are rarely offered. Comparable listings range from $45 to over $200, depending on condition and whether the book is signed.
A solid, collectible example for anthropology, sociology, or Ecuador studies collections.
