    Mountain Goat Books?

    Not to derail the thread but why in the world is Duncans goat book worth so much? I'm pretty sure I still have a copy but its at my place on POW. Going to have to dig it up next time I'm down there! Got a copy of his bear book signed with a note to Bob Boutang at the Fairbanks value village a...
