Guys,
Can some one put me on the right path to start collecting all 7 editions; I have the 7th edition and I went to the public library and they had the 6th edition and I purchased it when they had a used book sale. So where do I start my quest for the first five?

Amazon
Ebay
Used book stores
You can do a google search on used books and you'll get a bunch of different web based deals.
A third edition signed can run you $500 or more . . . be prepared for sticker shock.
Alibris.com, from time to time, has 4th and 5th editions. The search for earlier editions (1st - 3rd) has proven elusive, for me. A tip from Drewitgolf, contact the seller to make sure that the edition listed is actually the one they are selling. He says that sometimes a seller will use the same description, for a copy from a different edition. His experience is that the seller is not trying to mislead the buyer, but it is expedient to use a previous ad. You will save time, return shipping and disappointment by confirming that it is the edition you desire. Good Luck in your search

I have all 7 editions. They're in new condition and I never paid more than $35 for any one of them. In fact the 3rd edition was the last one I obtained and I paid the most for it, $35. It's unsigned though.
You have to be patient and be in the right place at the right time.

Then again I bought a Homer Kelley signed copy for 500 bucks from a friend of this web site. I wear white linen gloves when I read it. It is sealed away with a note to my "survivors" telling them that this yellow book has extreme value.
Those of you that have PM'ed me about the early editions you are looking for, I still have you on the list. Demand for these earlier editions has grown in the last few years . Fear not, I will keep looking and let you know when something turns up.
It took me awhile to get all of the editions (never paid three figures for any of them), especially a signed first edition. But, the truth is out there. We just have to remain patient.
In speaking with the owner of TGM, he said one of his future projects includes a reprint of all editions and to sell them as one collection. If and when that happens remains to be seen.
Regularly search the used book sites on the web. That's what I did and caught a 3rd edition right after it was listed. To be honest, when I saw the publish date of 1975 I thought it was a mistake and I couldn't be that lucky, but for $35 I was willing to take a chance. While I was waiting for it to arrive I kept thinking it's probably a 4th or 5th edition. When it did arrive I immediately opened the cover and saw the last copyright date was 1975. My search was finally over and my collection complete!
