Ansel Adams Autobiography

Today I walked past a small antique store, where displayed in the front window was a rather large book entitled, "Ansel Adams - An Autobiography". The book is in mint condition.

It's a New York Graphic Society Book, published by Little, Brown and Company, Boston. ISBN 0-8212-1596-5. Copyright 1985 by the Trustees of the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust. The author (M. S. Alinder) states that she was hired by Adams to help with the book; and that she recorded many hours while interviewing him. She finished the book after his death on Easter Sunday, 22 April 1984.

The book is very well illustrated with many of his images - quite a few of him, going back to his childhood.

Does anyone know what this book would be worth?

According to amazon.com, around $12 if paperback or around $19 for a hardcover. At the time that I looked, only the paperback was in stock.

It's still in print and not rare, so it's worth a quarter to half of what it costs new.

But it's also worth keeping.

Now, the signed first edition of Yosemite and the Range of Light, which I'm fortunate enough to own, is worth a bit more.
