The last time I saw a copy available for sale in the late '90s it went for $95. None available for sale since then. I guess it depends on whether a person is interested in the volume or not. Also whether or not they are a collector of rare items...

who is he and is it qixing oriented as it seems?
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"

Well, my own Mantis training was mixed with Longfist and Bagua (from a Chinese master to a Korean lineage), so I can't really say for sure, but it looks like seven-star mantis to me...
