Recent Sales
Similar French Sagédition 'Vedettes TV' titles from the mid-60s typically sell for 15€ to 40€ depending on the character popularity.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of international grading (CGC/CBCS) would likely exceed the market value of the book. It is a nice collectible for a Bonanza fan but lacks significant 'Key' status.
Notable Features
Features the four main cast members on the cover: Michael Landon, Dan Blocker, Pernell Roberts, and Lorne Greene. Price marked in French Francs, Belgian Francs, and Canadian Cents.
