Is there such a book?  If so, it has been around awhile.

I retired in 2007 and really wanted a Lee Navy.  I had $2500 in my budget and went to the big Reno show.  I saw 2 for sale, both over $4000.  Then that guy was killed when the striker blew out.  End of my desire.  A more pressing desire is being alive.

There was someone on this forum awhile back, wanted a lot for what looked to be a nice one. IIRC, he was from the same general area.
