Lagopus (Mike),
Yes you may well be right about value for money.
But as you are well aware, much of the pleasure is actually owning something, and that is where I feel DeWitt / Bailey fits in.Obviously you can drop lucky and find a copy at a book fair or car boot sale.
Years ago I bought a facsimile copy of Burrard's books from Coch-Y- Bondu for £65, then a friend gave me a first edition he had picked up at a car boot for 50p?
I find everytime I want something, the value goes up!
