Yes there are a lot of great books --hidden treasures- on Ebay.
Sadly the vintage Baja books are currently attracting such a narrow band of interest that they are disappearing from the used book shelves and in to
the trash all too often.
Next time you are in a used book store check out Baja vs any war--Civil, WW1, WW11, Korea the ratio is 1000s to one Baja book.
Baja Books just don't sell in the used book market
We are so fortunate that E bay came along when it did.

"check out Baja vs any war--Civil, WW1, WW11, Korea the ratio is 1000s to one Baja book."
I'm sure there were thousands more published on those subjects than regarding Baja, CA. In San Diego, Baja books are very popular, and when you find
them in used book stores, they're overpriced. Alibris.com and bookfinder.com have plenty of Baja books at competitive prices. You could easily find
and buy 200 Baja books in a day using online sources.

Cool!! I bought 2 copies (The Unforgettable S of C) and still have one in perfect condition. The other I sold for the $40 price I paid for it to some
guy in a bar down in La Playita.
But recently I found out an old narrative I bought for $10 and lent out never to be seen again, is now going for $42. It`s "With John Steinbeck on the
Sea of Cortez", written by Sparky the cook. He really unloads on John`s wife Carol who went on the trip but was never mentioned in "The Log of the Sea
of Cortez".
