: Found this on ABE. The hardcover was actually limited to 125 copies, despite saying "600":
: Vance, Jack The Seventeen Virgins and the Bagful of Dreams Underwood/Miller San Francisco 1979 Fine in fine dj Signed by author. Limited to 600 copies Book# 000184 US$175.00 Please contact Curious Book Shop for more information about purchasing this book.

It's working! I saw this too on ABE. I think the problem is because they have confused two books. Check yr Hewett/Mallett A58 and A59. Bagfull of Dreams was 600 copies. Seventeen Virgins/Bagful of Dreams was (according to H\M) 111 copies.
Now there's a quest. I think even Cugel would have trouble finding seventeen virgins! I've never read the story so excuse me if this should be what it's about.
