Can anyone estimate the value of this guide by Airguide Publications Inc...First printing fall 1974...good condition...many color pictures including discriptions, lat/lons, etc. of airstrips of the day. 8 1/2 X 11 , 3 ring bound. App. 200 pages. Thanks jg

JG I would really like to have that. I had one at one time (my first flying trip to Baja as PIC was in 1974), but can't locate it now. To the best of my memory the one I had was softbound, not in a 3-ring binder. The binder makes it more valuable, I think. I have no idea what the value is but would certainly spring $US100 for it.

I must be a wealthy guy!

I have the first edition, October 1971.
This is actual "Sea Guide, Volume II, Baja"

The first was "Sea Guide. Volume I, Southern California"
I have the third edition of that one published in 1973.
This one actually goes down as far as Ensenada Harbor and Punta Banda, so is necessary for the serious Baja bibiliophile.

Both of mine are mint condition (for 35 years old) original covers.

No, they are not for sale....

A serious knowledgeable bibliophile will generally enclude the ISBN number of the volume (s) offered for sale.

There are two (2) editions of the noted book by Mr. Lewis as follows:

1971 edition ISBN # 087930051
1974 edition ISBN # 0884030067.

Both editions are very common and avaliable on the established used book market in the range of $20.00 to $40.00 good ole American dollars.

The offered price of $750.00 is some what out of the realm of reality.

I did not mean to confer the status of "serious bibliophile" upon myself.
It just sort of had a nice ring to it.
My first edition, indeed, is the number as noted,
and no, I ain't sellin'
and, without the Southern Cal. Vol. I you do not have full coastal coverage of Baja...

Skeet I appreciate this but I have all of the Senterfitt books. Mine are not in great condition because they were used heavily, but they are treasures. One is actually signed by Arnold, I met him once at Meling Ranch and he graciously signed his book for me. Again, thanks,

To all of you bibil*****whatevers. My copyof Airports of Baja, has stuff with copyright date of 1969 and 1971. It also has an "Application for Membership Baja Bush Pilots.

Mine has a plastic cover that is a bit different then what David posted. (If I knew how to post a copy, I would be, truly, dangerous.

I cannot find a edition date, but the introduction shows a date of June 15, 1969.

Not being a 'fly boy' I have only read the brief stories that he sprinkled throughout.

It has none of those numbers that Skeet posted. No ISBN #'s.

Bernie I just dug out my oldest Senterfitt and it is the same one you mentioned, June 15, 1969 at the end of the Introduction on page 8. I noticed that it is loaded with my handwritten notes, brings back waves of memories.
