Well I am the high bidder at this point but I am guessing there is a $150 reserve on the book. I have contacted the seller to find out what the reserve is.

I would like to get that in e format to do a study on the forum with it. If you get the book is there any easy way to get it into a copy of say "ms word"?

Scan it using OCR software and it will save the book in text format. Or you could hire some one on the internet to do it for you. www.rentacoder is a good please to find people that are willing to do that kind of thing cheap.
Qwerty, I beat you out, I had the first bid, and now I ran you up but you or someone else will be sure to get it cause I just don't have that kind of money right now. But I sure would like to read it.

Qwerty just has MORE of that there lords money than you do sister! And so he's gonna beat you to it! Yup, and I don't think he's going to back down and donate it to you once he gets it either. Or will you Qwerty?
This "Lord's money" is a very tricky thing! ROFLMAO

jbid is a program that you put your prospective purchases into,you place your best bid and forget it, and then when the sale is 5-10 seconds from over, it places the full amount of your best bid, and ebay takes that and bids it up as the competition requires.
I always use it, that way we don't get into bidding wars in the last few minutes

Fred, are you saying jbid bids the amount of your highest bid? I use JustSnipe. There's no program to install (although it is handy to have a link on your links toolbar because when you press the link when viewing the ebay item it automatically sets you up to make a bid on that item without manually having to enter the item #) and it only bids about a dollar or so more than the highest bid - e.g. if I had my highest bid at $150 and the last highest bid was $120 it would snipe it at $121 instead of $150. You can set the amount of seconds beforehand that you want it to bid. In the unpaid version there is a limit of about 5 snipes per month, but I've never used them up.

Clarence H. was from my home town. The Holdimans did not like the book, that is about all I remember about it. I remember my Mother remarking about the book in decidedly unpleasant, terms. I must have been about 10 when the book came out.
If I remember right Clarence H. was a professor at Tabor College. A very good friend of mine is currently a fund raiser for Tabor and I could get in touch with him if needed.
I believe those books can still be gotten from Tabor College, but I'm not sure.
Pull up Tabor Mennonite College at Hillsbore Kns. and you'll probably get lucky. It's a Mennonite Brethren campus. I would imagine the book is in their library somewhere.

I got mine about 10 years ago and had to pay $15.00 for it. For what it's worth it's a really dry book. I think a few of his conclusions are a matter of perspective but it was OK. Maybe I should sell mine.
