There is an auction for a 1948 Hardback OA Handbook. This is probably the single toughest OA Handbook in existence.  The seller claims only 10 were made, my understanding is the number is more like 100. However, who knows how many still exist today.
Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next few months.
As you can see, with a couple of days left, the auction is already over $ 170.00. I have no idea how this will end up. As far as I can remember, this is the only Hardbound version I have ever seen listed.
If your interested in collecting OA Handbooks, you can find a copy of my OA Handbook Checklist here.
