There are always lots of used copies of the Shaw Alphabet
edition of Androcles available on bookfinder.com, so I'm not
sure *I* would call it "rare" (although others might). It took me
years to find a copy of Schonfield's *New Hebrew Typography*,
and the bookseller only listed that one as "scarce."

The Public Trustee's Copies of Androcles seem to start at $35
and go up. The trade paperback edition generally ranges from
$8 to $15.
